As you can see from this link P-155 is value over 2K - I got this info from another site:

""""
Abstract : The purpose of this project was to evaluate employment of the Polan P-155 infrared night vision weapon sight by Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces (RVNAF) in counterinsurgency operations in the Republic of Vietnam (RVN). During the evaluation, Vietnamese soldiers were instructed in the use of weapon sights. Following this, use of the sights by selected RVNAF units was observed and analyzed. The evaluation was conducted under actual combat conditions. Although well-trained RVNAF units were capable of using IR weapon sights, most units did not use them enough to justify issue. Reasons given for not using the sights were: (1) RVNAF units did not often operate at night; (2) the sights were too heavy and bulky for the average Vietnamese soldier; (3) RVNAF unit commanders feared loss of the sights to the Viet Cong (VC). No RVNAF unit had electrical facilities for charging batteries. It is recommended that infrared night vision weapon sights not be issued to RVNAF.

I have a Vietnam era night vision rifle scope for sale or trade. I got it from a buddy a few years ago and have no use for it. It does work, but is nothing to be amazed about. The technology for night vision back then wasn't too great. I have never tried the IR illuminater because the battery that comes with it needs to be charged (I do have the battery tho). It should work just fine as it is in great condition.
It comes with:
The scope
IR illuminater lamp
1 stanag type mount
2 spare IR bulbs
2 other small spare bulbs
A few spare C batteries
The big orange rechargeable battery for the IR light
A few cords and misc pieces for everything
Some tools
A complete original users guide/parts diagram
And the heavy duty pressure sealed case

According to the parts guide I have everything that was originally issued minus one allen wrench and a green canvas cover for the ir battery.
