Zeiss 4 eyepiece turret?. offers as is

4 barrel Eyepiece Turret. I was told it was Zeiss when I bought it but I can't find anything on it saying "Zeiss". When I google "Zeiss eyepiece turret" ones just like this come up on images so I guess it probably is Zeiss. Part of a job lot I bought ages ago.

Comes with a threaded 2" Meade 32mm wide angle eyepiece. The other three holders accept standard 1.25" eyepieces.
There are 2 distinct marks on the prism it looks like, which you can just see in the photo. I have never opened it up or cleaned it but it is obviously been through several sets of hands over its lifetime. I have never looked through it so don't know if its any good and would not know how to judge it anyway.

I reckon it would suit a Refractor nut. If someone really wants it I can sell it for offers plus postage.

Update see posts above!

Looking inside a little harder I think the "prism" is actually a mirror. I think the marks are caused by the clips that hold the mirror showing through the silvering. Obviously gonna need some major surgery, anyone want to make an offer for it as is?.
