Anybody know what I've got?

The paralax in those old girls, can leave a lot to be desired. Nice old scope and it would certainly dress up a rifle from the pre WWII period.

Gunner is right P Kohler produced scopes that were used by SS Police/Heer police during WW11. The scopes used, the alloy ocular bells seem be marked P. Kohler Berlin 4x and P. Kohler Berlin Pecar 4x. It may be that the 4x only marked scopes were purchased direct for military and the Pecar 4x marked commercial ones procured by other means or confiscated. The scopes during WW11 have distinct range dial markings and some have rifle serial numbers engraved on tube, others not. I am collating further information on these scopes if anyone has one used during WW11 and is willing to pass on details/pictures.

The tube size of scope is 27 mm and a friend of mine has just removed a set of Redfield rings from an original military scope if shooterjim is interested.

Any serial number on your 6 x 59 scope shooterjim?

valleysniper: No, there isn't a serial number on the scope - only what was shown in the pictures. With it being so difficult to find rings for ir, I'm almost thinking of just keeping it as a collectible. If your friend is willing to part with the rings, and the price is reasonable, I might be interested in buying them. Since the old eyes aren't what they used to be, I removed the 4X scope from the rifle and put on a 3-9X. I went out Saturday and burned up 550 rounds to prove a problem I was having was the old ammo I was using and not the rifle itself. Again, my thanks to all who responded to my thread. It's much appreciated.
