Hi all,

Two images from Ebay. According to my information Flakrichgerärt 40A sighting device.

Apparently there was a whole series of sighting devices used in the AA artillery, apart from Kdo.Ger. fire directors and rangefinders... 8O :?

Flakrichtgeraet 40 A was used for directing searchlights.

HI all,

I need help with this rangefinder. I think it is not of German origin. French OPL, perhaps?
