WW1 US Army Aircraft - GUNSIGHT TYPE C-3 & STORAGE CASE - VERY RARE:
$199.99

You are offerding on a SUPERB and VERY RARE example of a WW1US Army Aircraft Gun Sight Set Type C-3! This would have been used in conjunction with various Curtiss, Boeing, and Douglas aircraft of the time period.

The "Machine Gun Sight, Type C-3" is listedas a pre-waraircraft gunsight in the NARA Records of the Bureau of Ordnance, 1914 - 1996. The entry shows a date of February 3, 1930, so it is most likelya WW1 through to WW2 sighting system.

Made of steel, this gunsight set is in EXCELLENT used condition! Though it is100 years old, it stillretains most of the original paint and finish! The larger rear sight is missing most of the horizontal wire "steps", but that can easily be rectified. No other markings on the sights. They seem a bit small to be used as a sight for a Heavy Machine Gun, so I am not sure of the exact weapon these were used on. I have shown similar examples in the last images. The storage case is clearly marked, "Gun Sight Type C-3". Requires some further research. Would make aPERFECT addition to any collection or display!
