EN14. The Range Finder

Normandy can you post images. The En 14 had later variations etc incl I think En34?
Would be great to see a WWI example ( of which I look for)

Hallo MG1918,

I believe the rangefinder I have is an EM 34. It's on a similar tripod and looks
very much like the one it your photo,it says Carl Zeiss Jena nothing about the model.
I'll take some pics tomorrow after work and post them here.

Here are two pics of the rangefinder that I have, its seen better days.

WWI & Post Great War Range Finders for MGs.

Sir thanks for posting image. Interesting. Seems the later model went for thinner tripod legs. I do not know enough about the various models but it is really useful to compare? Any optics experts out there?
I know obviously for MGs they used the smaller of the patterns and that for field artillery examples they were not that much bigger for hand/field use, leading up to massive battleship and coastal defences patterns!!
