About the Item
A very rare and well preserved World War 1 era (1914-18) Director No 5 Mark 1 brass artillery director theodolite gun sight, (reference no.5 mk1) complete with wooden transit case. These were originally issued to British military forward advance for the setting the elevation and angle of heavy artillery during World War 1. This military and scientific instrument presents a fine and highly functional display piece.

The instrument and wooden case retain their original military markings, including the British military broad arrow ( the Crow's Foot) mark and serial numbers.
