I have had this scope for quite a number of years. I bought it a short-side rail scope, as it is identical to the scope illustrated in the Fischer Waffentechnischer Leitfaden that was published for III Reich police use from 1940 through 1944. The mounting of the scope is a short side rail, isn't it? I would presume the police use commericial equipment as is this scope. Anyone know anything about this scope? In all my years of collecting, I have never seen what I consider an authentic police sniper scope/rifle, only the illustrations in the training manuals.
The body of the scope is steel but the one end is aluminum as identified in the manual. It is painted black, though the name and serial number is visible. Also painted black are other aluminum parts. The optical shows two horizontal lines with square ends and one vertical centered line with pointed end between the ends of the two horizontal lines.
If this is a legit short side rail scope, what is its rough value? Or is it too rough and commercial to have any?l Thanks for your expertise.
