Gun in Canadian military usually means field gun.....I'd guess a sighting or spotting scope for a 25 pounder?

A photo of the telescope would go a long way. I'm not so sure it is for the 25pdr. Often, grey paint denoted naval use.

Off the top of my head, the 25 pdr, along with the 6 pdr, and the 40mm bofors, all used the 22-C, or the no42 or no52 sights for direct fire.

Hitzy: That is about the tackiest photo of a 25 pdr I have ever seen. I have been looking for one of those guns to add to my collection. Please don't show that photo again or I might change my mind. It looks like it went through the "pimp my ride" show.
