If it says Model of 1917, Im interested. Not interested if its dated 1943 or has a contract #

I would say between $35 - $55. Would pay more if it was a Model of 1917.

Thanks Craig

Is there fluid in the level? If so I'll take it.

 

[Rory]

i can go look. is this a contract like the previous person inquired?
was the price he listed a good price, or a great price for the buyer?

I think $50 is an ok price if there is fluid still inside. I don't know which of the kinds he was referring to. I think this is a later style though because the scale isn't brass.

I meant to say stock number. Production # was a brain fart.

Of course there are times they sell for more, but these show up on EBAY every month.

Here is a page on Browningmgs.com ,s website. http://browningmgs.com/Clinometer/Clinometer.htm

Here an example on EBAY.

This is the one I want. It is marked Model of 1917 and would have went with the early guns.

Typically they are worth about $75. If it has an original leather case in good shape, figure about $100. I have them from time to time.

The picture I posted of the Clinometer drawing is from MACHINE GUNNERS' MANUAL 1936.

Pictures of the clinometer were still shown in FM 23-55 October 1955 but seem to have disapeared from TMs and FM by the 60's. This is not to be confused with the artillery quadrant which is similar but slightly larger and came in a curved leather case. See the "liberatorcrew.com" site for details on the clineometer under Browning machine guns.

Here's another great info source for the clinometers:

 

[Craig Johnson]

Found a Clinometer about 6 months ago. Some guy from Canada had it for sale on EBAY. I was lucky because I asked him about shipping, and than EBAY cancelled it because it had Machine Gun in the title. He contacted me after that and sold it to me. I think his opening price was $75 so thats what I got it for.
