Rusty Posted November 28, 2022 Share #1 Posted November 28, 2022 Hi all, This is my first post and its all about if any knows anything about the collect-ability of the Dumaresq Mark VIII the mechanical analog fire control instrument . The best information comes from the web site http://dreadnoughtproject.org/tfs/index.php/Dumaresq. I have found this in my deceased father collection of odds and ends. Its in an original looking wooden box that looks like it was made for transporting it. Ive attached a photo with a ping pong ball used for scale. Its in good condition, no rust just dirty. I want to sell it or donate it to a museum. What is something like this worth? Is it unusual or rare or just un-noteworthy. Any assistance is appreciated Thanks, Russell in Brisbane,Australia.

Rusty Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share #2 Posted November 30, 2022 The Mark VIII was mainly used in the Second World War and a little later. Australian destroyers are known to have used them, especially the tribal class ships HMAS Arunta, Bataan and Warramunga. Here is one on the Belfast.
