    F.J.A. - Inspector Extraordinare - AT 37 MM Scope

    I couldn't resist buying a scope with an FJA on it. Doesn't look like it possesses any magnification, in fact might be slight de-magnification so you can get a large object like a tank into the sight.

    Col. Frank J. Atwood apparently liked to see his initials on everything made for the military in the Rochester Ordnance District.

      Atwood was evidently competing with a guy named Kilroy.

        No magnification.

        Here's the ordnance book for it. https://archive.org/stream/TM9-1578#page/n1/mode/2up

          Now I just need find the 37mm it mounts on. I do know a guy that makes cannons, but it may a little larger than the normal specs. Thanks for the link.
