I need some help identifying this part of a telescope. Any assistance is appreciated thank you.

It's a Rifle Scope, not a Telescope.

If it was mounted on a telescope its called a "finder scope".

After taking a look at it again and reading about rifle scopes. The link you posted really helps and learned something i did not know. Thank you Tdumonde.

I was searching and comparing the finder scope with the scope i have currently. Thank you repair.

You're welcome.

So this is not from your telescope?

[niftyfindsinphoenix]

No.

Then I misread your OP;
"I need some help identifying this part of a telescope"

[niftyfindsinphoenix]

it's ok.
