The L.739 was probably introduced after the L.713 for the new M le 1935 and M le 1937 AP shells fired by the 37mm 

SA18 L/21 gun. 

● For armored cars : Laffly 50AM, Panhard 165/175 and AMC P16 M le 1929. Either the sight used in the Renault 

FT17/18 (1x, 45°) or a sight like the L.698 used for the infantry gun (2x, 7.88°).

Sight : L.767 


FOV : 11.25° 

Reticle : + 

Adjustable drum up to : 1400m for the APC shells and 1600m for the coaxial MG 

The L.713, L.739 and L.767 sights are similar, same shape and weight, only the range drums and the reticles are 

different due to the different shells. 

47mm SA34 

Sight : L.671 


FOV : 11.25° 

Reticle : V 


47mm SA35

The L.762 sight is 721mm +/- 4mm long and weights 2.6 kg. 

On the “+” reticle the horizontal line can be adjusted for the elevation. The + reticle was preferred to the V reticle to 

materialize the horizontal. On the horizontal line of the “+” reticle, there are vertical long and short bars. One 2.50m 

high vehicle covered by a long line is at 500m and the same vehicle covered by a short line is at 1000m range. On

the left of the “+” reticle there is one red range ladder for the coaxial MG.
