Hi,

While the RblF itself, in the condition it is in, as a WW1 or pre-WW2 model Goerz is probably worth about 100 USD, assuming everything works on it, the rod does not appear to be Wehrmacht, unless you have a waffenampt stamp or three letter code somewhere on it, or some other manufacturing mark belonging to one of the military manufacturers of the time.

The Wehrmacht did have long extension poles like this for their RBlFs for the 10,5 cm howitzer in order for the telescope to be elevated up above the line of the gun's shield, but all the ones' I have seen are straight and not angled like this one, nor do I see them in this color, if the color is original.

Perhaps the extension pole is soviet?? Their RBLs were almost identical in form and fit to their German relatives. Is it articulated in some way at that angle?

Thank you very much mlespaul,
The color is original,but i can't find any marking on it ,i'll search again.It's articulated on the first picture (where the pen is situated).
