[QUOTE="jerrschmitt, post: 543857, member: 16076"] Most of the German ones I've seen were made by Zeiss in Jena. [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Wild"][COLOR=#0645ad]Heinrich Wild[/COLOR][/URL] worked for Zeiss then established his own Company in Heerbrugg, Switzerland. Because of the neutrality act, Wild couldn't sell his product directly to Germany so they went there in round about ways. They were also sold to Japan before the war and then made in Japan later on. Most countries used a variation of the Wild or the Barr & Stroud. Mine has no military markings but has a ser no of 1. I know it's not the first one made because I have seen earlier dates. I would love to know its history. [IMG]http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d200/Jerrschmitt/guns/Range%20finders/my%20range%20finder/rfidplate.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
