PTRS-14.5 Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) OK Gents need help ID-ing some Items. This is a AA MG Vane Site #7, I think is for a Lewis Aircraft Gun Jap or Western MG or Possibly a MG15 German... Then #8 is a Small Wire Site 1.25" diameter on a Dove Tail Base.. Third is a simple Rear AA Site on a threaded shaft #6... and finally #9 some currently offer for sale and say are for the Bell ANM2 Twin Mount, But I'm not too sure... What can you folks offer for input? Thanks Charlie PTRS-14.5 Edited April 25, 2018 by PTRS-14.5 cleaned up imagex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pstidan Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) #8 above sure looks like a front sight for an LMG 08/15. Edited January 8, 2018 by pstidan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKII Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Is # 7 could be for a russian dp28 aircraft mg ? https://www.forgottenweapons.com/vintage-saturday-wingshooting/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTRS-14.5 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 I saw that too but it clearly different when compared.. I still think it is for a German MG15 possibly but am not 100% certain without a good image. Thanks for your input. Charlie PTRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike todd Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Charlie, not MG-15, I have guns with both variations and they don't match. I believe # 7 to be the vane sight for the lewis aircraft gun. and indeed may be Japanese. the bought some and made some. we had more than 10 variations when the lewis was prime for us but its been 30 + yrs ago. as for # 9 check the threads if not metric it looks exactly like my bell sight.. NICE BATCH! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
