ZF-41 scope?

[gunner]

This was the badest type of scope the German snipers had to deal with. Many said it was better to shoot without that scrapy thing than using it.It was declassified in 1939 for its limited capabilities and the only 1.5 power. The original thought was to give it to the best shooter of the group as a assistance to aim a bit better. It was not meant as a sniper scope. The Waffenamt wanted to have 400.000 of them but for limited production possibilities of the optical industry, they made only 90.000 til May 1943. But a great item for a collection!
