[ATM] Question about an old military surplus telescope
Some decades ago I bought a battered old ex-military telescope at an
auction. I'm pretty sure it was military surplus from WWII (the sort
Edmund Scientific sold into the 1960s).
It's made mostly of brass (painted khaki), has a large Erfle style
eyepiece, a ~1" achromatic objective and uses an Amici roof prism to
bend the light through 90 deg. It was designed to bolt onto something
(probably a tank). It used to have a rubber eyeguard but that's long
since gone.
Does any one have an idea what the model number was for this? (M-something?)
