  • K. Kahles Wien cad sniper scope

    Here is a ground-dug K.Kahles 4×60 wearing the war-code “cad”. The recoil ring tells that this scope was mounted on its K98k with a LSR mount. To some people, these dug scopes are just a piece of junk. But these ground pieces don’t lie on their history and sometimes bring very interesting details.

    ZF.41 Carrying Can. The sand color, D type ring, WaA542 and internal hinge tell us that’s a type 4 can. Note that the tan color was not especially issued to the Afrika Korps, like some people say.

  • Waffen SS Hensoldt Wetzlar sniper scope SSR mount

    This is an early reworked G98 configuration with SSR mount (type 2) used by the SS. We “often” see Ajack 4×90 scopes with this SS configuration but Hensoldt 4x scopes are much more uncommon, even more with matching mount and/or rifle. Note the typical SS runes on the elevation turret and the rifle serial number reported on the scope main tube. Collection and credit : Dave Roberts

  • J. Schneider Kreuznach dkl sniper scope LSR mount

    This ZF39 was made the manufacturer J. Schneider Optische Werke in Bad Kreuznach, war code “dkl”. It is mounted on a LSR mount and comes with its original feldgrau carrying can and sunshade. Note the matching numbers on the mount and carrying can lid. Collection and credit : Dave Roberts

  • Waffen SS sniper scope Ajack 4×90 Dienstglas

    Early civilian Ajack 4×90 scope modified to be used by the Waffen SS snipers. These scopes were used on reworked G98 rifles, mostly with SSR mount. Note the typical SS 1-3 meter dial and the rifle numbed engraved on the scope main tube. On the other side of the elevation turret should be a skull and bones along with SS runes and the marking “Diesntglas” but it was erased post-war on this scope.

  • Z.F.41 Swarovski Optik in Austria (cag)

    Here we have a matching ZF.41 telescopic sight and carrying can. Unfortunately, the set misses the klarinol cloth and dust brush to be complete. The ZF.41 wears the code “cag”, corresponding to the manufacturer Swarovski Optik in Austria.

  • LSR K. Kahles Wien H/4×60 scope

    H/4×60 sniper scope made by Karl Kahles manufatcurer in Vienna. This model was fitted with a recoil ring to be used with the long lateral side mount (LSR) on K98k sniper rifle. Later, these “H/4×60” and Kahles logo were replaced by the war code “cad”.
