I have very recently aquired this sight, marked 'Telescope Sighting No 7 MKII'
dated 1942, in its original box. Its bore diameter is 56-57mm.
Has any forum member have any ideas what gun it was used with?

I think i have the exact same type, but I don't have the case, is yours made in Britain or America? I have no idea what gun it was used for though and i am wondering the same thing.

Hi ya,
IMHO its made in Great Britain. It does have the War Department arrow on it.
This one came from an auction, where did yours come from?
I am also not sure why this has No 303 stamped on it?
Hi, sorry for the late reply, I got my telescope from my neighbour, he got it at a fleamarket years back.
Best Regards

Hi Eddy, I have the 1942 manual for the 6prd A/T gun: it only mentions the No.22 C, Mark II. in my edition.
No idea on this one, sorry.
Cheers, Ade.
hi ade
i have the 6pdr a/t sight in my collection and it's actually quite small about an inch in dia and about a foot long whereas every single other sighting telescope i have is much larger and all pretty much the same size and shape. what made me think this was a bore sight, is that a 6 pdr shell is 57mm in dia so it would fit perfectly in the barrel. i collect sighting telescopes but unfortunately i'm no expert.
i have every ww2 british sighting telescope in my collection except the 2 pdr (no.24b) and the 25 pdr how (no.29) so if anyone reading this has these sights and wants to sell them please let me know.
cheers
eddy
