Thanks for the input so far. Here's more info I found stamped on it:
Stores ref No. 88/1124 2666
Reflector Sight MK II
AM Serial No 5428/41
British Patent No 504845/37
The case has 2 ID tags on it. One looks original the other looks like it came afterwards but it's still an old paper tag. Has a leather handle, brass clips, wooden case. The case is open and I didn't do a good job of showing the lid.
Is it from a Spitfire? From my mother's collection. She was into European WW2 air war items but collected a variety of other WW2 and 1940's era items as well.

I also have this one:
Us Army Air Forces
Gunsight
N-6A Type 24704A Spec No.
W11-107 ac-143(52) Order No.
E.A. Labratories Inc. Brooklyn, NY
What did this come from? Value?

I'd like to sell both of these. I'm keeping some framed fighter plane prints and models for my son's room but I have no intention of keeping artifacts like this. I think they need to be in the hands of a collector.
