The real UZO had a reticle consisting ONLY of a vertical line through the center of the field of view. No markings at all, not even a horizontal line. Thus looking through it is the same as through any binoculars with a clear view, and seeing a vertical line fromn top to bottom. A lever on the right ocular allowed to make it fuorescent at night, so the vertical line could be seen in dim green in the dark.

Urfisch has (or had) a real UZO for sale here not long ago, in the thread he also posted some pictures of looking through it where you can see what I'm telling you.
