Carl Zeiss Jena Prismatic MG sight - Turkish markings?

[Surpmil]

Hi

Have just come across this post after hours of searching.

I have one of these. I was given it when I was a kid and never had any idea what it was. Mine has markings on it which I always assumed to be Middle Eastern, and came with it's heavy leather, belt mounted case.

I always figured it must have been some form of gun sight. I'd owned it for many years before I discovered that if you shine a light in the small glass apperture, it illuminates the cross-hairs.

At least I know which direction to look in now to try and pin down exactly what it is.

Cheers

Thanks for posting! Can you put up some photos of yours?

Are the markings the same as in the third photo in my initial post?
