    WW2 German Panzer optics sight

    may be selling these & would like to know if anyone knows exactly what they are & what they are used for. Blc maker code which I think is Zeiss, marked Rm-F 12 x 60, fur Em4m R40. Have a crosshair type optic picture, & spring loaded eyecups for quick sight picture. Been told they are tank sights, I'm not sure.
    thanks, Doug

    Hi.
    This is an eye-set that was part of the Entfernungsmesser 4cm R40 rangefinder system, often seen on coastal batteries, or anti-aircraft installations. It was plugged into a large/long tubular piece of equipment, some models of EM had 3 or 4 of these eyeset fittings for several people to view at once.

      A good quality item , yours is missing the shades section which occasionally is missing.
      Unfortunately the chances of obtaining a spare one - very slim.

            Thanks behblc! Those were EXACTLY the pictures I was trying to find !!

            Really perfect illustrations of how these pieces were used as part of larger system!
