Hello,

Typically used in self propelled guns like Nashorn, Hummel, Wespe, ...
There are a few pictures on internet or "Nuts and Bolts" publications.

Classic, nice, black example. My congrats! These are fragile so not easy to obtain.

Glen,

Lucky you. A nice piece of self-propelled gun optics.

German tank periscope ?

Thanks guys.

I was very happy to get it.

Here are a few shots of the ink stamps & some other details.











One prism set it held in by spring loaded pins, you can easily pull it out. The other is held by pins that you need to manually retract before you can pull the prism out of the main body.

The prisms are made a very thin Bakelite & I could see how they would not survive very long if mishandled etc. If I dropped it on the floor the prisms would undoubtedly be smashed.

I’m going to make a display stand for it so I will display nice & be safe.

Does anyone have any detailed pics of this in use other than the one Carles so kindly posted?

I saw the mount itself on Ebay twice in the last 3-4 years.
You could make a really nice display with one of these.

Did you save the photos from the auctions.

I’d love to see how they were set up.

I'm afraid not.
Sorry.
