A friend just gifted me a M4 Mortar Sight with leather and wood M14 carrying case. It was used on WWII 81mm and 60mm mortars. I think his Uncle left it to him years ago (he's a bit older than me). The sight is mint, the leather is a little dry but in great shape. I thought it was significantly newer until I did a little research. Now I'm afraid to accept it as a gift due to my perception of it's value, but the last one I saw sold online was several years ago and the price was blanked out. Can anyone here help me out with a current estimate of worth? I feel the need to reciprocate like value or tactfully return it.
Thanks
