Restore your artillery optics with authenticity using this original M39C Instrument Light, designed for use with the M70 series of telescopes. The U.S. military issued these lights to provide critical reticle illumination for direct fire telescopic sights used on a variety of mid-20th-century American artillery systems. Perfect for collectors, restorers, and reenactors seeking genuine period components.
