Help identity this misterious part...

Post by Claudio »

Hello
I got a bunch of parts, most of them condenser lenses but it was included this
part. I can not identify nor find any brand or part number. It seem like part of a photo tube or something.
Could you identify it?

Thanks!Image

It's a camera adapter to go into a trinocular tube, with a right angle optical viewfinder for focusing. It dates from film camera days. There is a prism to split the light between the camera and the viewfinder.
