C/6 Gun Sight, as ONLY used on the famous 8.8cm S. Used on U-boats and other surface vessels, t. Hese were captured at the end of the war.
(Aufsatz-Zielfernrohr mit Schrägeinblick) was a specialized naval gun sight developed for German Kriegsmarine service during the Second World War. Featuring 5x magnification, a 14-degree field of view, and a distinctive angled eyepiece design, these optics provided accurate target acquisition while allowing the gun crew to maintain a practical viewing position during operation. These sights were primarily fitted to the 8.8cm S. C/30 and later 10.5cm S. C/32 naval guns carried aboard German U-boats and surface warships.Manufactured by Carl Zeiss Jena, they formed an important component of German naval gunnery systems and remain among the most desirable Kriegsmarine optical instruments encountered today. Made of solid brass and steel, by Carl Zeiss, Jena, this 5x 14° power scope is in EXCELLENT used condition!
No dents, cracks, or repairs... And it retains approximately 95% of its original Kriegsmarine gray paint & finish! The optics are EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAR with no noticeable haze, fungus, or spotting!The original reticle remains present and clearly visible. The filter knob is 100% FUNCTIONAL, and allows the use to change between 4 different views - Clear, Grey Filter, Yellow Filter, and Dark Grey Filter (I have shown how some of the filters look in the attached photos).
The original data plate is present and indicates. Some slight marks, scratches, and paint chips throughout... Found in France and preserved in outstanding original condition, though it is missing the original rubber eyecup and headpad (easy to replace). I have shown its location in the last photos.
When attached to a U-Boat deck gun, it would have to be constantly attached and removed, as it is not pressurized for submerging. An EXCELLENT and highly desirable original Kriegsmarine optical sight associated with the famous 8.8cm naval gun used aboard German U-boats and surface vessels during the Second World War... PERFECT for any collection or display!
