You are bidding on an AMAZING and EXTRAORDINARILY RARE example of a 100% ORIGINAL WW2 German Luftwaffe Revi 16B Gunsight Mount, as ONLY used on the Me109 G thru K fighter aircraft!
The Revi 16B was manufactured around 1942-1945, and was used until the end of the war. This Gunsight entered production to replace the outdated Revi C12/D, and was designed with the Spitfire in mind. The aiming reticle was made in such as way that a Spitfire would fit the aiming circle from edge to edge at 300m, and each increment marking represented 6 mils. This was the main sight the pilot or gunner used when sighting targets (aircraft or ground).
Made of steel, this is a SUPERB used example! Removed from an aircraft at wars end, it remains in EXCELLENT used condition, with pitting throughout from storage. Some very slight marks, wear, and patina due to the age, but otherwise COMPLETE! It is 100% functional in every way, and had a couple parts replaced, as they were too badly damaged/corroded. A 100% original examples, making this EXCEEDINGLY RARE! I have shown it’s location in the last photos. Would make an AMAZING addition to any collection, display, or restoration project!
