    Thanks for your efforts and the new pic, perhaps with some International
    Cooperation the project will become viable.

    The dimension and flair angle of rubber eyepiece etc I obtained from a picture of a side on scoped rifle. Using known dimensions on mounts/rifle to prepare a scale to estimate dimensions, think might have sent it to you before Son? I obviously know scope ocular bell O/S diameter and visible diameter of ocular lens. However dimensions such as rubber wall thickness would be best guesses. I have a few original Britishicon optics rubber eyepieces and original and copy Germanicon WW11 sniper scope eyepieces, the rubber wall thickness varies from 2.10 mm to 2.74 mm however these are for much bigger scope, I would guess Model 18 rubber wall thickness about 2 mm or perhaps under this. I note your comments regarding the tapering wall thickness, but was this taper from the very rear of the reinforcing flange to the start of angle of flair? (Obviously actual flare part tapers). I would have guessed if not told otherwise the wall thickness would be consistent along length until start of flare to avoid drooping when fitted.

    Look forward to anything else you can come up with and hopefully convincing an owner to help out.

    I would add that I’m not trying to get this project done to make anything out of it, just to get some done for my own scopes and hopefully other interested scope owners. If I can get anything replicated by the guy I know people can deal direct with him.

    Will try and get you a copy made of Epoxy Resin

    Nobody’s forcing you, but attached are some tease pictures. note pre war exercise picture, is that 'home made' eyepiece or one in a different colour rubber such as pink or White. The Germans had pink coloured rubber parts on some of their optics. Now there's a thought anybody want to specify a colour or flavour on their rubber bit? Oops this is getting out of hand now!!!
