I have also seen photos of these being used on the Atlantic wall and on the coast of France during 'Sea Lion'

I think these were made in 1930s , I have seen a lot of them in Finland over the years and used to be very cheap when brought from the Finnish army shops back in the good old days

Are they all wartime production ? I thought the SA stamp was used until the late 60's

I believe these ones are, that's what I've been told at least. Naturally they have all been refurbished later and thus look quite new. The store also had some with visible Waffenamt stamps on them but those were sold separately for maximum profit (understandable imo)

Info message. These are still in sale by army shop, but they did notice that auctioning separately Crow-marked is better gain.
There is new seven pieces batch on auction right now. All of them are with Kriegsmarine eagle.
Huutokaupat.com
Search word is "STEREOETÄISYYSMITTARI"
Those without crow marking are sold in Jyväskylä shop about 120€.
Last time I observed crow marked with after-war leather cases all were sold ~500€ per piece.

This seems like a fair deal. I'm curious as to how they still have a clearly visible swastika on them even though they have been used post war?

I believe Finnish army bought after-war surpluss rangefinders because they have swastica crows. After all it is property marking. Finns just re-marked them as [SA] property.
Previous sold batch also had lot of Kriegmarine eagles, we also might have got them in 1944 when we bought/recieved lot of german equipment. And kriegsmarine warehouses might have surplus of these.
Finnish army never destroyed original factory/army markings, as our equipment were multinationally diverse. Russian, German, Swedish, British, French etch..
Pre-war ordered SA rangefinders don't have crows, obviously.
