Picked up this very tidy RK40 yesterday (first one of this type in my collection) & I’m mighty happy!
It’s overall condition is excellent & the optics are near perfect with a crystal clear reticle. I will try get a photo of it illuminated.
CME = Gegr Wichmann, Berlin.
Blue triangle for cold weather grease & the Red M I think is say the unit is/isn’t ? Magnetic...[emoji848]
All the dials run smoothly no jamming etc.
The compass is working still as are both spirit levels.
Even the ink stamp is still visible & legible.
Unit is much lighter than the RK31 seems to be made from a light alloy.
Interesting Grey colour on this, matches some CME Gestell 40 tripods that I’ve seen.
[emoji95]Does anyone have a lead on the periscope & the rubber eye cup?
I’d like to try complete the set if possible.
Pics below for your enjoyment.
