Request for Help With Gun Sight

[Clayton]

Gents;

What do we have here? We know its German WWII and it is made to fit over the barrel of a Mauser rifle. There is a clear glass lens mounted diagonally in the upper section.

Any help identifying this object is greatly appreciated.

Best regards to all,

Not sure, but it could be a training device used for shooting instructor to see what the soldier was pointing at, so he could correct the position.

Correct. I have a similar one for the Carcano Mod. 91

We have the original storage carton for this device too. We have attached a photo.

Is there a particular name for this sighting device?

Are these uncommon?

Any help is very much appreciated.

Best regards to all,
