Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:254442 |
Vintage WWII Military 16MM Gun Sight Camera with 5 Film Magazines are used and untested. Comes with 5 film magazines, and two of them are sealed. All may be unused, but I only know for sure of the two that are sealed.
North America, New York, USA, and Canada, ca. 1940s CE. A gun sight aim point (GSAP) camera used by the US government during World War II. The camera has an attached Kodak Anastigmat 35 mm lens and comes with a 16 mm magazine loaded by Kodak that... says it is property of the United States Government. The camera also comes with a power source and a sealed roll of fifty feet of Cine-Kodak Kodachrome 16 mm film. All of the items come in an original latching box, as shown. Size: 8.25" L x 25.75" W x 4.5" H (21 cm x 65.4 cm x 11.4 cm).
Also included in addition to the film roll mentioned above are five more rolls of sealed, unused Kodachrome film of a slightly later vintage (not pictured). Please note that due to the age of the film, we cannot confirm viability other than it's new and unused.
Gun cameras became common in the 1920s (although the British Royal Flying Corps had used them in World War I). In World War II, they were used to record kills of enemy aircraft on both sides of the war, and much of the stock footage we have today from these early air battles comes from cameras like this one. They were designed to be mounted internally in the wings of a fighter or other kind of aircraft, and were activated by a trigger on the pilot's control stick.
