Its very interesting, but unfortunately weights upwards on 20 pounds, so I would not like to carry it around.
The pictures are of a box and gun-scope my dad gave to me. He cant remember if its from WWI or WWII, but needless, it is the gun-scope off a battleship.

What do you guys think?

Scary but cool!

That is a gorgeous scope. I agree with Akonite, it would make a wonderful part of a decorative display, perhaps with an old shell cartridge (the big ones, not ones from handguns) or a few old maps.

That thing is incredible! I say, if it's to heavy to carry around, take cool pictures with it as a prop.

haha~ oh I certainly will use it for something, now that I realize how interesting a thing it is.
I would make some attempt to polish it..but...it wouldt be nearly as awesome if I did

absolutely lovely!

what a great conversation piece biggrin

Too bad it's so heavy, otherwise you could lug it around as part of a costume prop of somesort.
But it would definitely make a great kind of display.
