U.S. Army Sherman Tank Driver's Periscope - Model M6

This is an original M6 model U.S. Army tank driver's periscope, constructed of metal and glass with a rectangular body, featuring angled viewing optics and mechanical adjustments intact. The unit retains its original military finish with some surface wear consistent with field storage or use. Optics appear intact and the device shows no major damage.

The M6 periscope was commonly mounted on early to mid-WWII U.S. tanks including the M4 Sherman series.

The U.S. produced several models of periscopes for armored vehicles, with the M6 being among the most widely issued in the early years of the conflict.
