On a more serious note, does anyone here know what you need for a power source for this thing? And, how does it mount in relation to the Leopard?
 
Sorry but it has nothing to do with a leopard tank. Spent the last 30 years on and around them and it wouldn't fit anywhere. Our early night vision was called a PZB 200 and it mounted on the front of the turret mantlet, it didn't have an eye piece as the electronic images were transferred into the turret. Looks like it may be one of the old night vision scopes the Infantry used to use with the .50 cal but I could be mistaken.
 
It's Nodlor. Ground mount and Hmg scope. There's a separate tripod that looks like a ground TOW tripod. Specialized batteries that I do not think are made any more.

Oh well, I guess I wont be buying it to bolt to the forward rail of my rifle. LOL
 
It's not a NODLR. The NODLR is green and rectangular and is a thermal sight. The one shown is an II (starlight) sight.

IIRC the NOD shown also fit into the .50 mount on the Lynx.

Edit: FraserDW, I get what you were saying. I was referring to the piece of kit specifically called the NODLR.

The early gen1 scope that was used on the lynx and the M2HB was the TVS-502. Batteries for those are impossible to find, but easy enough to make little battery packs that will run on a couple of AAs. I personally bought about 7 of them when they went surplus.

While this looks somewhat close to it, it is not. Is that a battery container up on the top, or is it a connector for an external power source.

The tag on it mentions AMG-41. I have never heard of that designation.
 
Even google is weak on this one, but the wrong name doesn't help. I see it described on line as an AN-TVS 4B, generically described as a NOD (Night Observation Scope), and early US Starlight scope. Apparently the batteries can be replaced with a set of four AA batteries as Stencollector mentions.
If anyone is near Airdrie and interested its in the antique mall there, along with some other 'scopes' sights, and aviation cameras.
 
I had a framed picture with a Canadian soldier using one of these on a browning .30 cal MG. I have to see if i can find it.

Ack no problem. The last time I used the NOD was 83. Transposed names I suppose.
