Default Barr and Stroud

My father has one that has had a prism professionally rotated in the mechanism so it can accurately measure ranges within a km. I don't remember what the case looks like, but it isn't the big one posted above.

My example was made by REL under license from B&S during the war. But it has additional Chinese markings since it was intended for lend lease like the Bren guns and Stens produced in Canada for the same purpose. Since it was determined the Chinese wouldn't really put them fully to use against the Japanese, they were never sent.

It has the fibre transit tube. Have a nice tripod but sorry to say it isn't a spare.
