WW2 German Luftwaffe Aircraft – REVI 16 A GUNSIGHT – FIGHTERS & BOMBERS – NICE!

You are bidding on an EXCELLENT example of a late-war WW2 German Luftwaffe Reflexvisier Revi 16 A Gunsight! Though used heavily in the Me109 and Fw190 fighters, as well as turret locations on the He177!

The Revi 16A 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 This Gunsight entered production to replace the outdated Revi C12/D, and was designed with the Spitfire in mind.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 aluminum, bakelite, and steel and dating around 1944/1945, this is an AMAZING example. Retains 95% of it’s original finish with the original bulb! This is the mid-war version that features the additional darker glass mounted on an adjustable arm that the pilot could position when flying in brighter light. The data label is 100% intact, and clearly indicates Revi 16 A, Fl. 52940. Features a serial number with an “R”, indicating that it is possibly from a turret mount. Missing the clear glass, but those come up quite a bit, so a replacement can easily be found. Would make a PERFECT addition to any collection, display, or simply as a conversation piece!
