H038264 ARTILLERY SIGHTING OPTICS. (Zielfernrohr) Early, tooled brass and alloy construction sight with aluminum fittings. Sight is roughly 15cm tall, with a 8cm diameter, circular base. The ocular lens protrudes diagonally upwards from the sight when the objective lens is set at a level horizontal view. Top right side of sight has a vertical elevation adjustment dial with numerical markings from "0" to 90" with numerals at every tenth increment. Elevation adjustment dial also has a numerical adjustment viewing window with numerical markings from "0" to "1400" in increments of one hundred. Bottom edge of right side also has a horizontal left, right, directional adjustment dial with numerical markings from "0" to 90" with numerals at every tenth increment. Directional adjustment dial also moves the bottom circular base edge which has numerical markings from "1" to "64" in increments of one. Left side of sight has a horizontal ten centimeter ruler. Sight has two external, glass liquid levels, a light attachment slot for addition of a light source for night usage and an additional viewing window with numerical markings running from "0" in the center to "15" to both left and right. Optics are still quite crisp and clear and have a central "+" reticle pattern with numerical markings of a "0" to center extending outwards to both left and right to "40" in increments of ten. Ocular lens focus adjustment still functions but the protective eye socket has been removed. Maker marked to Gebruder Wichmann Berlin. Optics have been over painted in green, indicating most probably post 1945 use by the Norwegian army. Nice early artillery sight in overall good condition.
