ww2 canadian kodak gun sighting telescope , were these used by Army or Navy & on what type of guns ?
Hi HD,
It's a shipboard gunsight typically used on deck guns of 1" to 4.5" in both anti aircraft & anti shipping roles.
They would have been used on Corvettes, Subchasers & other small escorts.
Regards, Ned.

thanks Ned , US Navy only then ?
Probably used by the USN, but definitely Canadian Navy as the patent no. (G 376) is Canadian, so probably any Commonwealth forces as well like RN, RAN and RNZN.
