Very rare and desirable collar tab. A good friend of mine has a black officer tunic with this insignia that was vet aquired in the earLY 1960'S with all of his original decorations attached, It is one fantastic uniform.

The number of the tab is for 20th Hundertschaft. Optic has a German plate mounted. It says something about a Company... Werke. I hope I can make more details out from it.

Happy new year all together, with much health, peace, and finding good treasures in 2015.
Much collections will get sold in 2015 as it looks.

Yup.

Best of the season to you Robert! Excellent photo. I wish he was wearing a helmet in the pic!

Glad I have one 60x magnifier ...
On the side of the optic is a plate from company Hildebrand-Wichmann-Werke Freiberg/Sa (close by Stuttgart)
Richtkreis 31 (RKr31) used for measuring horizontal and vertical angles in the preperation of data for MG34/42 indirect fire. Could also be used for flash spotting.
