Thank you DrSid. I believe you are correct. I was,looking at a site called Anythingradioactive. Someone on this forum mentioned it months ago. Seems it's only good,for,a,conversation piece, and if,you ever needed one, you just survived a nuclear explosion. Paid $50 for it, and have already...

While picking up the trench periscope, guy had a Geiger counter cheap. I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet. I did check the radioactive marbels we all have. Needle didn't move much or at all for that matter. Periscope looks like it was made by a plumber. Cool case I wasn't expctintg.

Re: Prisms in WWII tank periscope. To harvest or not. I feel like I'm about to murder a loved one. Still haven"t sawed it in half.

Re: Prisms in WWII tank periscope. To harvstmoyst Wow, taking this thing apart turned out to be much harder then I would have guessed. I even tried a Google search. Believe it or not I found a drawing on the internet showing how to change out the prisms. Except mine doesn't have the wingnuts to...

Perhaps I forgot to hit th post button to my post. Hit a dad brain cell or just old timers disease. I was going to put this in optics folder, but I'd like to get multiple answers if possible When I was a kid, I'd buy these large beautiful prisms at a war surplus store. I was told they came out...

I'd say it's a nice tight rectangular oval, with a prominent line running through it. Haven't noticed any mode hoping. Possibly a small amount at start up Trussmonkey : it feels nice and solid in my hand. Like a fine quality handgun. :) Thanks for the compliment on the photo.
