Georg of Ohio Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 What do I have here? I got it at an auction, and I have no idea what it is. I think it may be for a tank or some other type of armor vehicle. Take a look; what is it and what type of vehicle would have used it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DO you know what it was used for?Hallo Georg of Ohio, Links courtesy of a web search on Google.I believe it was used for observation and not directing tank fire onto targets, but stand open to correction.Seems you might find more info here:-http://www.idsabooks.com/cgi-bin/idb455/find/title/O.htmlhttp://www.idsabooks.com/cgi-bin/idb455/4407.htmlKevin in Deva :beer: Edited January 25, 2009 by Kev in Deva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
