Just picked up this Sokolov Mount with the different pattern of controling the elevation and depression.
This example features a pin and three holes rather than the usual slot and clamping bolt.
Quite why it was produced and what possible advantages it could offer over the usual pattern is questionable.
The mount has the Tula mark and I would date it to the 1930's.
Any comments? Are there any examples in the states. They do appear fairly commonly in photographs if you loook.
