Moritz Hensoldt, born in 1821, is the founder of the Hensoldt line. In 1852, he established a small optical company in Sonneberg, Thuringia, which relocated to Wetzlar, Hesse, in 1865. Since then Hensoldt has been a vital part of the centre of optics and precision mechanics in Wetzlar. The Company made binoculars, rifle scopes and other optical Instruments for the German army through both World Wars. This is an original Rbl.F32 optical sight for Artillery Guns & Tanks. It is a 4-power, fixed-focus type with a field of view of 10 degrees. The steel & brass sight retains all of its original green paint. It has the correct graduated dials.
