No, it isn't a FED piece, at all, but a ZORKI VF, a KMZ-made clone of the Zeiss 436/70 Prewar finder, with the optical axis flipped to match that of the LTM design. It is a rotating telescopic VF with 28mm to 135mm frames. It is about 2" long by 1" wide. Don't pay more than $75 or so for this, as these guys are readily available in the US.
