The inside looks brand new

The inside looks quite good. Added a picture from the current owner. Items used to keep/remove condensation from the optics.
With all the parts gathered perhaps a restauration of a 633 should be done. Problem is, to few 633 is available
We must ask the Atlantikwall Center in Norway for help

Hello All

A nice peek though the a Schartenturm with a N.C.O. on the main periscope
Photo = Ebay.de

Regards Jos

Hello,
I guess this periscope is type 2307 made by Optikotechna Prerov (dow) - see photos. It was originally used in turrets of czech bunkers and probably during WWI also in German bunkers. I have two photos of german solider using this periscope, but no other information about German use of this periscope.

Does anybody have any?

[AvB]

Very nice info, thanks!
Can you post the photos with the German soldiers using this one?

Hi Artur, I add my two picture. As you can see, one is with soldier, second one is view through periscope. Maybe were taken in the same cupola as photo on page 4 in this topic, what do you (and other coleagues) think?

If you are interested I can share more information about this type of periscope or about "ZF für 4.7cm Festungspak (t)".

I made mistake in my previous post: I meant WWII not WWI, of course...

[AvB]

Cool photos, and please share some stuff about the ZF für 4.7cm Festungspak (t), always interested!

Cool photos, and please share some stuff about the ZF für 4.7cm Festungspak (t), always interested!

The ZF was originally used in Czech fortification for aiming 4 cm kanon vz. 36 (4,7 PAK K 36(t)) or twin machinegun vz. 36 (MG37(t)).

Here is info I have found in Optikotechna archive (announcement letter for Germans):
"Richtfernrohr M36 für das M.G.
Das Gerät wird als Zielfernrohr für das direkte Richten auf sichtbare Erdziele der in den Befestigungswerken eingebauten Maschinengewehre und kleinkalibrigen Kanonen verwendet.

Optische Daten:
Vergrösserung: 2x
Gesichtsfeld: 17° (300 Strich) oder 300 m in einer Entfernung von 1000 m.
Austrittspupille: 6 mm, daher die relative Lichtstärke 36

Die Entfernungsteilungen könne nach Wunsch in verschiedener Kombination von Waffen und von Munition durchgeführt werden; beispielsweise werden zwei Teilungen für Spreng- und Panzer- Granate der Panzerabwehrkanone mit zwei Teilungen für das S-Geschoss und für das sS-Geschoss des Maschinengewehres angeordnet."

Some photos from archive, handbook for 4,7 PAK K36(t) and periscope from exposition of our museum are added.
