Hungarian Military Trench Periscope

For when you need to look without getting shook…

This lil’ piece of cold-war equipment outta Hungary is a helluva find. Look over cover at your enemies, peep outta the man cave to make sure the nagging wife is away, or whatever else your devious head can think up. In all seriousness, we’ve seen such old era periscopes face relevance across many battlegrounds, in use by conventional and asymmetric forces, as warfare evolves to a more static and artillery/ordnance centric focus. It’s handy to be able to peep and creep without catching chrome to the dome! Not only that, but it’s portable enough to stow away in your kit snuggly, making it a perfect new age addition to a modern insurgent style loadout. Despite the ease of transport with these periscopes, they are surprisingly sturdy, made to survive a drop or a sturdy application of periscope to the side of the skull of an enemy. These aren’t impossible to find, but they’re definitely getting rarer and rarer, so get ‘em while they’re hot!
