Anyone want to see me spend Mr.Maim's money?
You find me one for sale... I wanted this dial sight so badly that I bought a transferrable Vickers MK1 to get the dial sight!Anyone want to see me spend Mr.Maim's money?
Mr.Maim,
What, you don't have a box yet? Any serious collector wouldn't own a Vickers or two and not have a box for your sight!!! :lol::rofl:
Thanks Outdoordave, it came like that when I purchased it.
It's a tease, it's mine, and it's not for sale. But, they are out there. I got this one from Alistair Ballantine a number of years ago.
Not a good eye but perhaps lucky enough to be ahead of the wave on some stuff.You have some nice stuff OldSoldier, you must have a good eye for it.

Noted, thank you! That is a fine example!
My guess is $1400-$1700 depending on year of manufacture, condition, and accessories. I’ve never seen two alike. Some have two spare float levels, others only one. Some have brass parts where others are aluminum. Brass is better in my opinion. Allister is the guy to ask about what dates are the best, he told me he has only seen two dated 1940 like mine. He has seen more dial sights than anyone I know other than possibly Bob Naess. I’m sure others will weigh in on pricing.
Beautiful redroth, I think Allister told me most were 41 dated he has seen. Maybe I'm making that up, I am getting old you know.
