height open circa 53 cm.
Iron-foil frame keeping most of the original grey-green dye (about 75-80%). Marked "LEITZ / WETZLAR". Wooden butt. With lashing to mount the rifle at the top of the frame. The mirror optics (working) allow to see from a distance at a higher height. A wire ran from the trigger of the rifle to the trigger of the simulacrum so that the trigger of the Gew 98 could be operated through the periscope butt. The butt plate is provided with a gate featuring a compartment to insert spare mirrors. The frame can be folded to be easily carried. Some signs of use and time.
