Product Description
The No. 39 Mk II Sighting Telescope, commonly marked as AK & S 1943 OS 818GA No 15659, was designed for use with the British 6-pounder anti-tank gun during World War II. This telescope, produced by A.K. & Sons, played a critical role in enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of the 6-pounder, an essential weapon in the Allied arsenal for countering German armored vehicles. With a rugged construction to endure harsh battlefield conditions, the Mk II provided a clear sight picture and reliable alignment to improve the gunner's ability to accurately engage targets at varying distances.
The telescope's design included precise reticles for target acquisition and range-finding, facilitating rapid aiming adjustments essential in fast-paced combat scenarios. With its robust and simple mechanism, it was optimized for the gunner’s quick operation under high-pressure conditions. The No. 39 Mk II was marked with unique serial numbers, such as OS 818GA No 15659, ensuring traceability and quality control. Its contributions were significant in several theaters, allowing gunners to engage and penetrate enemy tanks effectively. Today, these telescopes are prized by military collectors and historians, symbolizing the technological advancements in British artillery sighting equipment during the war.
