Someone asked me to find out what this is and if it is worth anything. Looks like from a testing or targeting at an arsenal. Has #A13157-7 and 0-BA stamped on it. Maybe Bencia Arsenal??

Looks like a pre war Model 1918A2 B.A.R. sight in a bracket for another gun maybe an aerial .30 Browning in A B17 or B24 Bomber. Just a guess.

Yea you are correct, it is a sight off of a BAR 30cal but the base is not. I am guessing it is something for mounting off of a aircraft gun or armored vehicle.

Marlin(Rockwell) used BAR rear sights on their Model 1918 machine gun/modified for Tank use.
Seems like they had the higher 'winged' protector as on the BAR itself. But so few of that variation made, anything's possible I guess.
