I've had this thing for ages and have never been able to figure out what it goes to. Anyone here have a clue? Thanks for looking!

Cap Camouflage Pattern I

pretty sure its for an Anti Aircraft gun, think I have the manual at home. Will check when I get home and post it here if I do.

 

if its not an AA gun then I'd guess artillery

That's great if you find it. Thank you. Hope it's not much trouble for you. The only problem in finding out what it is for is that then I'll want the rest of it.

This scope is a spotter's scope for the M7 Gun Director. It was on the upper portion of the director and was in sync with both the azimuth and elevation scopes on either side of the unit. There was a rubber eye piece that is missing and a small removable amber sun shield that slipped over the outer brass ring.
