Subject: [Leica] Heydes Foto Distance Meter

I recently purchased a Heydes Foto Distance Meter.  Its a rangefinder device 
the size of a small Minox.  It has a base of 6 cm, manufactured in Germany, 
the trademark GHD in a oval, it came in a fine leather case and was 
distributed by Herbert & Huesgen Co, New York.  It has two windows in the 
front one larger than the other, on top there is a sliding distance scale 
operated by a brass lever.  In the rear the eye piece is made out of brass.  
I was hoping that some one on the list might have more information.  It 
probably was made in the 40's the construction is very solid.
