WWII Era Deitzgen Dump Level (1942)

Appraisal complete
Description
  • I have a vintage Dietzgen Dump Level number # 30474.  It's dated back to 1942.  It belonged to my Grandfather who was a civil engineer in the US Navy Seabee's.  We are trying to determine if this is a military survey transit he may have used in WWII.  The only other number on the transit is one which appears to have been etched (most likley by hand with a crude etcher).  The number is 23435.  Would you know if transits used in the military had goverment or branch of service insignia's?  I don't want to sell it....I would like to know a little more about the transit since it belonged to my Grandfather. I am willing to pay for this information.  Any assistance is appreciated.

Hi Robert!

The single image you uploaded is very tiny and not much use in helping evaluate the item.  Could you upload larger/more images?  To edit your listing just click the Edit tab located right above it.
