WW2 German Wehrmacht EM 4m R (H) 34 – RANGE FINDER MONOCULAR – VERY RARE!

The German military used a wide variety of optical equipment.  The Em.4m R. (H) – Entfernungsmesser 4 m Raumbild (Hochenmesser) 34 – was a standard 4 m-class rangefinder of heavy antiaircraft batteries.  It could be used as free standing on a tripod base (in co-operation with the Kdo.Hi.Ger. 35) or coupled directly with the Kdo.Ger. 36 or Kdo.Ger. 40.  The Em 4 m R (H) 34 were manned by 4 men (3 aimers and a commander) and could measure ranges  from 620 m (670 m in case of the model 34) to 50 000 m, as well as target’s altitude.  It features variousprisms, mirrors, and beam splitters which split the magnified image.  Once the split image is brought into one focused image the distance is known. 

Made of a brass, aluminum, and steel, this 10×45 Monocular is in EXCELLENT used condition!  It retains approx. 90% of its original Dunkelgelb paint and finish, and all knobs function smoothly and correctly! The optics are a bit oggy with spotting, however the focus adjustment functions 100% correctly! Has 4 filters that can be adjusted via the upper knob, giving the user the ability to use various shades/darkness of grey (depending on light conditions). The body still retains an original data label indicating:
