british-ww1-trench-periscope-1

An unusual British Army private purchase expandable periscope.  These were bought by officers and taken over to the Western front and were highly effective when seeking to observe the enemy.  Conversely, they were probably a regular target and many would have been damaged and destroyed.

Patented Expandable Trench Periscope

This example was patented and comprises a pressed metal frame and mirror to either end.  All the metal struts are complete and apart from some loss of nickel plating it is in good condition.
