FED 90 Degree Finder

This is an unusual and rare 90 degree finder for the FED cameras. It was made in the 1930's by the FED commune.
.
The finder allows to compose picture while holding the camera perpendicularly. A pivoted mirrored window (see rear view) makes it possible to use a rangefinder. I believe there was a Leica accessory of this design, and it was copied by the Russians.
