I know what you are going to say, “How does he keep finding this rare stuff?†I can tell you that those rumors of me having a friend who has tunneled into the Imperial War Museum in London are without merit! He is not a friend, just a business associate.

Very hard to find WWI Stanley 4" spirit level for Vickers MG Gunners kit. The Vickers MG was used often for indirect fire much like an artillery piece, especially during the First World War. In order to set the gun up for indirect fire, it must be initially leveled, so part of the kit of each gun included a level. They were manufactured by two different makers, Stanley and Rabone. All have the British Ordnance broad arrow acceptance mark. This is the Stanley version in good condition in fully working condition. Price is $100 plus actual shipping. Sold to WWImg - PAID and SHIPPED

For sale very good condition US Machine Gun Panoramic Sight Model 1918. This was used on Browning M1917 machine guns. Complete with original leather case in good condition for being 100 years old. All sight controls operate smoothly through their entire ranges and focus is good. Spirit level is intact and original; sight could use a good cleaning.
Set has a couple of nits, top of leather case is detached and needs to be re-glued at hinge point (frankly I have never seen one where this is not the case). Original plastic eyepiece cover missing, I am including a USGI binocular eye piece with the sight, the original ones are commonly missing or broken and a binocular eyepiece is re-threaded as a substitute to fit these sights.
I am asking $600 for the sight and case shipped which is what you would expect to pay for just for a sight these days.
