Maybe a K98k Optic

[GeeRam]

Thanks, it is more from an interest point of view; I bid thinking the description was wrong/ambitious. It has cost me £80. I intend to own a ZF39 scoped K98 at some point. I currently service my British optics, so even if it is a sunk cost to learn some new internals, that is fine with me. If the service is successful and has no place on a k98, I will see it; if I can't recover it spares are always useful.

Civilian scope almost certainly.

Does the elevation adjustment ring have markings on it or is it unmarked? Military scope were marked with BDC grads, civie hunter scopes were unmarked. A photo of the adjustment ring would be useful. There is a chap in France making replacement rings with correct markings, for the ZF39 and scope end caps so if you can get the mounts off the tube OK, and the reticule is the correct type, it's going to be close enough for a repro setup if refurbished.

However, there was a shortage of scopes in 41/42 and the military asked for hunters to give up there scopes for mil use under the Jaegerspende scheme.

Getting hold of a good shooting K98k however is going to be almost harder than finding a suitable scope now these days
