Specially-manufactured theodolite to track the horizontal and vertical angles of special weather balloons called ceiling balloons, or pilot balloons or pibal.
Needed to provide field artillery with atmospheric data .

"TT 13451 Kiertokaukoputki, mallia Goertz, tasaimenpeilillä varustettu, salpaleikkauksellinen, jako 6400" , in English "TT 13451 panoramic telescope, type Goerz, with levelling mirror, with cut-out for latch, division 1/6400" mounted on an unknown (to me) gun sight.

The gun sight is attached to the 105 KH 36 gun. See also 69245. Gun is nowadays in Militaria Museum.

Not a 105 K/34 but the 105 KH/36 (only on existed).

Here's a 105 K/34:

And the 105 KH/36 is above in Juha's message.

Thanks, veeteetee

I think the main visual difference is the shield of the gun...
