U.S. G.I. Optical Mirror, 2 Pack

Before digital fire control and integrated electronics became standard, precision artillery relied on manual optical systems. This genuine U.S. military optical instrument mirror was originally designed as an illumination component for fire control telescopes, such as the M12 panoramic series used on 105mm and 155mm howitzers. Still accompanied by its original sealed paper packaging. The mirror itself features a squared reflective face set into a protective metal frame with softly rounded corners, reflecting the rugged, utilitarian construction necessary for mobile artillery service. Ideal for collectors of field-service optics, restoration specialists, or those needing a high-quality signal mirror. Packaging shows storage wear, staining, creasing, and edge tears from age, while the mirror remains in unused or minimally handled condition. Unused condition. Measures approximately 3 ½’’ x 3’’ and ¼’’ thick. NSN: 1240-00-839-6891. Genuine U.S. Military Surplus. Made in the USA.

Expert Tips: Handle the mirror only by the edges or frame to avoid fingerprints on the reflective surface. Store it in its original paper wrap or a padded container to prevent scratches, especially if keeping it as a collectible replacement part. For display, pair it with vintage optical instruments, rangefinder accessories, or other 1240-series military sighting components to give this small but specialized piece the context it deserves.
