Description
This is an authentic KIKARSIKTE Tb51 optical sight, produced for the Swedish military during the mid-20th century. The term “Kikarsikte” translates to “telescope sight” in Swedish, and these rugged optics were issued primarily as artillery or crew-served weapon sights, offering clear magnification for long-range targeting and observation.
The Tb51 features a durable metal housing finished in matte military paint, with precision ground lenses and reticle designed for accurate ranging. Markings remain visible on the body, confirming its original military designation. The optics are bright and clear, with adjustments functioning properly, though minor wear and patina are present consistent with age and service.
Highly collectible and less commonly encountered outside Scandinavia, the KIKARSIKTE Tb51 is a rare Cold War-era optic, ideal for collectors of European militaria, artillery accessories, or military field optics.
