Happy days! :)
Picked this up last week on a pre-arranged deal for that PaK37 gunsight i had that was hangng around in the classifieds for ages.:angel:
Ive got a spare minter clockcase sleeve for the fuze somewhere in my collection so will be restoring this in the new year.
The top is in good condition around the sides and fortunatly any corrosion has missed the all important letters on the face.
Ive already started to strip it,the top comes away nice and bonny.
