I would ask DEC to see when he'll do another run of his scopes...

Yeah, I'm the high bidder on that one. I'm afraid I'll have to follow this one to the very end to go with my Boba Debt parts

Hmm weird, I only see one real m19 show when I search and it's listed at $1625 - which is completely ridiculous. I don't need one, I've already got one.

We will see.
It depends on your budget and how accurate you want. That guy selling the one for $1600+ who says its in mint condition is crazy. Its in great shape but not mint. I like the DEC ones and the dimensions are spot on. I think he said he is waiting on some lenses for them. If resin is ok, I like the 2nd one from the left in the picture below. It's the best resin M19 I have ever seen. The one in the picture is a reject and hasn't been cleaned up yet, If you want a real one you're going to pay a lot and they don't come up that often. Personally I would go with a DEC or a resin one.

Long story short too late. Somebody around here mentioned how these things are from the insides of tank periscopes-- I had no idea. I went looking at tank periscopes and decided they were the coolest thing ever. I decided to nab one for this short film I'm doing in the future-- wherein I want to approach the props like the OT. It's not a fan film-- but it is scifi-- and a tank periscope is perfect to add some greeblies too to make a hand-held scanner device.
Just got it and the thing is NOS-- totally sealed. I felt bad even breaking the cardboard. Given that it was NOS I had this sudden realization there might be a telescope in it. Sure enough, open it up, check it out-- BOOM. Telescope.
Not an M19, you know-- as to resell and triple the money I spent on the periscope, but an M77D. Very similar in shape, with some minor differences. But it certainly looks the part enough that it will be perfect for the custom blaster I am working on.

Seth I found the M32 (the one all the way on the right in pic above) based off what thd9791 posted. The M77 can be modified/ cut down to look more accurate. I think they are pretty as is. I know the feeling, I don't think Im going to use mine on a blaster. There is also what looks like a Bobadebt M19 cast in bronze on evilbay right now.
These periscopes are pretty cool, I was going to sell mine, but I like it so much Im keeping it. I feel bad splitting the two parts up after all this time. Plus it will come in handy if I ever buy a tank! Nice find!

No need for metal work. If you smooth the transition with putty, only some sanding and it looks like a M38.

The best resin were Jesse's coldcasts on fisd.
BDs look and feel great.
Nothing beats the real.

I think I snagged the last DEC metal M19 scope from his last run.
According to the postal tracking it should be here in the next few days, unless UK customs want to put an import charge on it before they let me have it.
