Kriegsmarine 10x80 Flak Reticle ?

[harrison987]

Hey guys...

I have a 90 degree 10x80 FlaKFernrohr. The reticle is different than the ones I usually see. Normally, I see a cross hair with gradient scales...

Is this one for a different purpose?

TIA

it seems that this type of reticle has been used in the instruments of the antiaircraft positions

Hi Mike,

A 90° 10 x 80 Kriegsmarine? Do you mean an 80° Zeiss/OPW or a 90° Goerz?

sorry..yes...80 degree

For a KM 80° 10 x 80 this is the normal reticle Mike, designed to be used in conjunction with 150 cm search lights.

ah okay!

Online I saw a website that showed a crosshair / gradient reticle...so I thought that was standard.
