LeichtesMinenwerfer sight

[MiguelMaxim]

Found in Turkey some time ago where it was in service in the times of the first world war. German made sight of the 76mm Leichtes Minenwerfer trench mortar. I think the distance marks are in an old german or prussian measurement scale but I don`t know the meaning of the 5 different scales, maybe depending the propelling charge screwed to the proyectile base. Any ideas?

The charge was adjustable so I think you are correct.

The charges were adjustable in base of shell by unscrewing venturi , i have a number of minenwerfer missing the sights and always chasing them to complete guns in collection let me know if you want to sell it or can locate more
