Description

*WW2, Swiss Army 'Wild Heerbrugg F= 12x' Range Finder, '80cm a- instr m/41 Nr 29', Dated 1941.*

The Swiss company Wild Heerbrugg sold these to Sweden and other European countries including Germany, who used them during WW2. A plate attached to the optic reads "80cm a- instr m/41, Nr 29, Wild Heerbrugg F= 12x, 82"

The optics, though old, are still clear. The range finder is constructed with leather and metal, featuring wooden handles for aiming. Using the instrument, the image is split, and realignment is necessary to determine the range, which is read off a dial through one of the eyepieces. A coincidence rangefinder is a type of rangefinder using mechanical and optical principles to measure the distance to a visible object. Coincidence rangefinders were crucial in fire control systems for long-range naval guns and land-based coastal artillery from approximately 1890 to 1960. They were also utilized in rangefinder cameras.

This optical instrument, crafted by Wild of Heerbrugg, Switzerland, during WW2, is a rare and impressive example from a premier optical company.

Approx 95cms long.

*Condition*
This range finder is in good used condition. The leather has a good patina but is marked as you'd expect. The leather carrying strap is new.
