Well if it's cme it's definately German that's for sure.They may have been a maker of different kind's of instrument's like this one too.It does look much like a single rabbit ear used in Stug's and many other assault gun's including the Jagdpanther

See the thread in German equipment entilted 'Ground dug Mg optic from Stalingrad'.It show's a relic optic for Mg 34/42 with the same maker cme clearly marked so they did make sight's as well as other instrument's

Hello this is the periscope part for the German model 31 Aiming circle , you can see a photo of it on page 431 of the book US War Department Hand book on the German Military Forces form 1990 , The aiming circles were used by German MG and Artilley units for range finding
