xring3 Posted September 11, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 11, 2020 This is coming up at a local auction. Said to be for a howitzer. Any idea of value? Bid is already 45 clams. Also have to haul away the rest of the junk on the pallet. Auction ends 9/19/2020. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordnance Posted September 11, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 11, 2020 It's an M8 panoramic telescope. It was used on the 155mm M1 and M3 gun carriages for Coast Artillery. Also used with the M1A1 8" railway gun mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xring3 Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted September 11, 2020 Well, that’s the best answer yet as to what it is. Now what would it be worth short of being an interesting conversation piece. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordnance Posted September 12, 2020 Share #4 Posted September 12, 2020 I'd say mostly an interesting conversation piece as there aren't many guns of that size in private hands. At least I don't know anyone with an 8" railway gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
