SMGO-1047 Telescopic Gun Sight By C.P. Goerz Berlin With Transit Case

An absolutely amazing example in stunning condition! The leather carry handle has broken but that is the only issue. It has a neat serial number of 55555.

Original Rundblick Fernrohr 16 German artillery gun sight. This is designed for indirect fire. Typically the optic would be sighted off of either an aiming stake, aiming circle, or the red potion of another artillery sight.

Essentially the aiming process works like this:

Step one, calculate the range and direction.

Step two, input the appropriate elevation and direction into this sight.

Step three, traverse and elevate/depress the gun until the optic lines up with the aiming stake or other aiming point, like the red portion of the Rbl.F.16 of the lead gun in the battery. (That’s what that red painted portion is for.)

Step four, fire and adjust.
