EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a pair of authentic 1916 British Army issue telescopes, both in exceptional condition. The telescope on the left, marked with the broad arrow symbol and the number 11801, is a T.T. & H. Limited TEL SIG (Mk.IV) model with low and high lenses, enclosed in a leather case. Measuring 11.5 inches closed and 36 inches open, it was a valuable asset for British soldiers during World War I, particularly for long-range reconnaissance and sniping. The second telescope, manufactured by Laing Wharton Limited, London, bears the number 3072 and a length of 36.5 inches. This telescope stand was designed to securely hold the Mk.IV telescope during use, allowing for greater stability and accuracy. Both items are a testament to the advanced military technology employed during the First World War and offer a fascinating glimpse into the history of military equipment. The 1916 British Army issue telescopes, with their intricate details and historical significance, are essential additions to any military history or WWI collection. These artifacts serve as a reminder of the innovation, craftsmanship, and resilience that defined the era. With their excellent condition, they continue to captivate and inspire those interested in the rich tapestry of military history.
