In a swedish coldwar bunker i found a kind of targeting telescope
probably used for targeting the canons. It is made by carl zeiss jena.
I'm not very familiar with carl zeiss products and i have not really
found any information on this particular object. I would like to ask
you if you have any information on this telescope like what it is, the history
of it, what it was used for etc.. I've written down all the text that was
engraved on the telescope:
Carl Zeis Jena (brand)
1918 (year of fabrication i think)
30,5 cm H.B. M/16 Nr. 3
förstoring 3-9x (zoomrange)
synfäll 16,7º-56º (visionrange)

Many Thanks
