63cagedfalcon Posted December 13, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 13, 2019 Can anyone help as to value & or how common it is. Being offered but is 2¹/² away. What I can find is these were used from early 1900s -60s. Any way to identify as to age? Optics are clear & have horizontal & vertical ranges intact. Some surface rust & no carrying bags. Only pics I have. Thanks in advance Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted December 14, 2019 Share #2 Posted December 14, 2019 These trench scopes were used by the German Wehrmacht during WW II until 1945. (I have to check if these were used by Artillery forward observers as range finders especially). I have seen some of these in much better condition including case and carrying bag offered online in the $400 - $ 800 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only find 1 referenced example online + ad from mine. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
