Sorry I had to pin this up for the optic fraternity - would hate anyone to miss the buy of a life time....and from U-570.
Now we at last have an insight into why they didn't see the Hudson coming.

Perhaps those long patrols prompted the Sailor in question to start collecting antique Optics!

Looks more like something captured in 1841...

Might even be "Afika Korp" and touched by Rommel himself .

Perhaps the sailor in question was a collector of antique optics.

oh, well, the seller had a good imagination, just like P.T. Barnum. But, he managed to make us all go take a look at it anyway, right? Pic looks like it was taken in 2004...lol.

At least he didn't try to describe it's coppery beauty as 'DAK Sandfarbe mit strichplatte'!!
