Here is a US stadimeter, which is apparently based on the same principle as the Soviet dipmeter. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Nautical-U-S-Navy-Mark-III-Stadimeter-/300527961407?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45f8dcc53f#ht_500wt_907 Typing "stadimeter", and then "CCCP rangefinder" on e-bay today gives all possible types of them:-) Alex.
