entfernungsmesser? Anyone know anything?

Hey I found this in a book and there are several pics online but most of the text is German (Hello Laura!) I know the small ones are all over the place, but do any of you guys have any real info on weather these are either available as a kit, or does someone have any drawings that I can scratch?

With my new interest in artillery, one of these is a must! Thanks CR

I claim no rights to these pictures- some were online, 2 came from a book "The German Wehrmacht on all fronts' These are for the reference point only.

Apparently there are several types!? Thanks guys. CR

Apparently Bronco just announced one!

Hi KD. They are range finders. Would go good with your 88. I'll have to save up for one of those kits, very cool. Good find and thanks for sharing.

Thanks Ron- I was finding entire german websites- I'll dig some up again and send you a link or two. Though with you near germany now, maybe you could find some more info on these range finders.

Gotta admit - a big level transit like these are cool.

Wow, that new Bronco kit is super cool. I was going to recommend DES Kit for this sort of thing. They also make some cool
search lights too. Maybe Bronco will come out with more of these types of things.
