Default No. 9 dial sight...

Just found this No. 9...had to have one because it just fit. Missing forehead leather pad , #41/51 scope, and hind sight on mount. How do you like my sand bag stencil? Cheers Rob

Default forsight Brow pad

Rob,

you could make the brow pad yourself, its simply a spong pad covered in thin sheet leather.

Default Sight Unit Cutaways

They were probably factory issued cutaways for use by technicians or gunners.

Cheers

Default My best stab at the artillery shield oiler/leather

Not much to go on but a few scrap remnants. Also see pics of the wavy piece above the shield that has had a little conversation on it over the years on its function??? I am thinking that it helped in the process of lashing up the drag ropes to their proper coil and size before strapping into place on the shield??? Any thought here? Cheers Rob
