Re: WW2 German Cannon Sight
Hi,
This is known as a Richtkreis 31 (Rkr 31) and is an aiming circle..... its used to measure horizontal and vertical angles. By using the magnetic needle, magnetic bearings can be taken. This is only part of the whole item, there is a periscope that fits onto the front lense housing. Normally the 2 pieces have individual leather cases or there is a wooden transit box for both parts which comes with an illumination lead and battery box. The instrument itself fits the standard German army wooden optic tripod. If you just have the sight we see in your picture then I would reckon it to be worth maybe £100 thats if the optics are clear and undamaged.
All the best from Jersey, Channel Islands.

Re: WW2 German Cannon Sight
Just found a wooden transit box for this optic in my store. Now I just need to find the bits to go in the box.
