    I have no idea what this is. It has no makers name on it at all. I've tried my best to open it with no success. Any of you guys familiar with this item, it's 5" long?

      Yep that is it, neither one of these show the item opened. Perhaps it is not supposed to open, but it sure looks like it should.

      Does not the button on the side slide and open the "shutter"?

      To the front lens?

      I can't get it to move.

      After looking closer, i,m thinking the screw is for focusing the mirror that shows the level in the split screen eye piece, see lower left picture. I think that the front cover won,t come off because of corrosion. If mine i would lubricate generously and tap gently with a wooden drift or punch progressively on all four sides, be careful!
