Original Period Manufacture - One Of A Kind

This incredibly rare item was a bring back to the USA after WW2 by a former GI.This was likely taken in Normandy or at the Bulge.The optic itself is still incased in the mount and has the rare optic protection device still attached.The light-up system has not been tested but can be hooked up to light-box, inside a reticle with the 8.8cm Tiger Main Gun optic is intact and can be seen.

This optic was effective to the following ranges with the 8.8cm KwK36 – Armoured Piercing – 4,000 Meters, MG 1200 Meters, HE, 4000 Meters, Indirect 8,000 Meters.

This particular maker code is – HGU – Friedenauer Technische Werkstätte GmbH, Berlin-Friedenau has not been seen before, with the more common BLC maker for earlier models seen in premium tank collections without mounts.

I could try and explain how rare this is to come up, but the numbers produced must have been very small batches. It would look amazing in front of a Gunners Wrap, as a static display perhaps lit up to view through it on a static display.

This can not be shipped outside the US - if you have any questions on this feel free to contact us.

Last two photos are reference only, the optic seems to be working with no cracks on the lenses or fungus growth. One is able to light the light up with a small handheld light and the reticle lights up as seen in the reference photo.
