Original WWI British Tubular Trench Periscope. 22554. - 22554
The trench periscope is an optical device that soldiers used during the First World War to observe the ground in front of their trenches and fortifications, without taking the risk of raising their eyes above the parapet and creating a target for the enemy snipers. An officer once wrote in a 1917 handbook ‘To make the image in the periscope clearer, binoculars can be applied to the lower glass at the proper angle, and almost as clear a view obtained as by looking over the parapet. One disadvantage of the periscope is that it makes the distance seem greater than it really is, and many a man receives a shock when he places his head above the parapet after looking through a periscope for a while, to see how close the enemy trenches are’. The periscope worked using two mirrors at 45 degrees to each other to reflect a view down a barrel or tube to the user who was safely out of sight of snipers This example with original brown/green painted tubular metal body with turned wooden grip. Retaining both mirror plates and measuring 55 ½ cm in length. The price includes UK delivery. 22554.

Before the outbreak of WW2 British machine gunners were equipped with range finders to calculate range. In 1939 MK 1 & MK II dial sights were introduced. Each dial sight was fitted with a Lensmatic sight, MK 1 and II sights were converted or replaced by MK III sights in 1940 (see page 518 of The Grand Old Lady of No Mans Land by Goldsmith where parts diagrams are illustrated. The illustrations are reproduced in our images. There is no 'emergency level' on our example as shown in the images which were originally supplied with MK I & II examples). Located on the rear left side of the gun, the introduction of dial sights replaced the deflection bar fore sight. This is an original very rare Vickers Heavy Machine Gun Optical Lensmatic MK III Dial Sight. The sight has the correct steel, alloy and brass construction with calibrated dials, correct Lensmatic sight, spirit level and bracket for Vickers’ Gun Dovetail mount.

Newspaper reports suggest that James retired as Managing Director and became Chairman in about 1897–98, when Joseph took over. The firm had bases in London and Birmingham. Important customers included railway companies, which used oil lamps to light stations, trains and signals. With an eye to the domestic market, Hinks' lamps were also decorative and borrowing from the designs of beautiful European China and porcelain table decorations their lamps were also a byword for domestic beauty, so much so that there is still a flourishing market for antique Hinks' lamps. They also developed specialist lamps and hurricane lanterns for India which was one of their most lucrative markets. Hinks' lamps were state-of-the-art until the early 20th century when electric lighting became the norm). All of the steel work and glazing are in excellent condition *one corner missing off one pane-see images*. The storage box is in very good order *leather carry straps missing*. A Hinks & Son makers plate can be found on one side of the case. Measuring 31 cm high and 15 cm wide this is a rare piece of history for the collector/en-actor.
