i suggest you send an email to the makers....Cammell Laird...they are still in existence...they are in Liverpool in UK....we would only be able to give you a guesstimate..my guesstimate..would be ....in the region of £200+...but it could be more..if the gun that this was on...was used in action....

That is what I suggest too !! I only found one from that era and it was a different maker,,!!

Nice old sight , maxou67 ... around here (Pacific NW , U.S.A.) ones like yours have sold to collectors for $125 to $250 USD - providing that they are intact , complete & able to be disassembled (not corroded/excessively damaged) ... less if in 'funky' condition !

Thanks for your answer and your help
I sent a mail to CAMMELL LAIRD, i wait for an answer .
have a nice day
