Apparently you have an old (1960s) Leitz comparison microscope, used in a forensics lab to compare items, e.g., bullets for similar rifling marks.

Not a tremendously valuable item these days, since a lab would buy new, but to a collector? Who knows.

Here's a link to the manual for the bigger floor-mounted version:

Thanks for the response!

How were you able to find out what era and use it had?
