Does anyone recognise the maker of this turret and its applicable scope?

Made in Japan.

It came in a box'o'things.

Thanks for your help.

Craig

This is one for Choronzon to ID but I think its from a Nikon of seventies vintage, one that was mimicing Zeiss by having a dovetail slide to make the turrets changeable. The way its chromed makes me think Nikon but its just a guess.

Olympus BH (series that take interchangeable nosepieces)

Won't fit your CH, what do you want for it?

Charles is exactly right. Gotta love those boxes of things

Gotta love those boxes of things

Nothing like flapping open an unpromising looking box and finding something totally delicious in it.

Speshully if it is something you were on the lookout for.

I've just attached this turret to an unmodified (still has all its bits) Olympus BHMJ focus block.

Perfect fit
