  • 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

    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
