United States Model 1918 Trench Periscope

Item Details

Description

Model 1918 Trench Periscope in genuinely nice original condition. Instrument comes in the original hard leather case. Case is stamped WT&B Co 1916 CAC. The periscope itself was made by Wollensak Optical Company and features a serial number of 5304. As the model name implies, these were used to get a look at the battlefield while safely behind the cover of a trench during World War 1.

The leather case is original but deteriorating from age. The leather straps are disintegrating unfortunately. The stitching is coming loose in sections causing one side of the case to be a little loose. The end cap pulls on and off with ease, reveling the periscope inside. Case measures approximately 21.5 inches long.

The periscope itself is in very nice original condition. Scope is made of a metal body with a hinged wood handle. The original green paint is in excellent original condition with only minimal scuffs and scratches from age and light handling. Scope itself measures approximately 19.75 inches long. The top of the periscope has a cover that rotates, to protect the lenses. Currently the optics are very dirty and need to be cleaned to get a clear view out of the instrument. The optics do not appear to be cracked or broken, just dirty. A tool like this is iconic image of World War 1!

All items will be shipped with a signature required upon delivery and full insurance either via FedEx or the USPS Priority Mail. Worldwide shipping available. A shipping quote prior to the auction can be provided by emailing your postal code.
