Nick47124 Posted September 22, 2023 Share #1 Posted September 22, 2023 Hi everyone, I acquired these parts that appear to be components to a submarines pariscope. Can anyone confirm and have more info? Also, what is such a thing worth? Aside from ebay are there good places to sell such things? Thanks, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted September 22, 2023 Share #2 Posted September 22, 2023 These are not parts from a submarine periscope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick47124 Posted September 22, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted September 22, 2023 Any idea what they are? They crystal definitely redirects what you're looking at. Perhaps part of a telescope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick47124 Posted September 22, 2023 Author Share #4 Posted September 22, 2023 I got these from estate sale. The man this came from was in the Navy. They thought it was from a sub and that sounded reasonable based it's appearance. Thought might have been part of the inners. I'm at a loss to what it could be. I didn't pay a lot for it, so more of a curiosity at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted September 22, 2023 Share #5 Posted September 22, 2023 They are certainly instrument parts. Other possibilities are fire control/range finding/height finder. If you're interested, this is the WWII GATO class periscope manual with drawings including transparencies (photos) at the end of the manual.
