Rare Scope find ZEISS ZIELVIER blc Code .

[Dave Roberts]

Thought the Scope & Sniper Collectors would Enjoy this one . Its my latest find & Self Christmas Gift to Myself actually my only Gift but what more could a Collector ask for .
To all My friend Here at the Forum Merry Christmas
The Bases are Original to Scope , the sad part was the Rifle was heavily Sporterized
Barrel had first 2" removed and Bolt re-contoured . It was sad to see it in this state
and the Bases & Scope was removed from Rifle .
Many Pics Hope You all enjoy the Pics . Best Regards :faint:

Great find, dave. I know that you have been looking for one for a long, long time.

I remember talking with you a couple years back and we were just speculating about them, because we hadn't seen one in person, just a couple poor photos where you could make out the Zeiss turret knob!

Congratulations!

Nice scope Dave.
Is there still a scope that you need to find?

Could you, please, tell us more about the rifle, manufacturer, year and serial number?

Sure I have Scopes I still like to find There is bunch of them Zeiss Zielseches LT & HT Kahles H/4X60 LT & HT.There is also 6 listed in the Karabiner 98 K Zielfernrohren Hand Book I have two Examples Ziel-Dialyt 6fach And Zeiss Zielvier most likely SSR but without recoil bar attached . It has Correct Range Markings for this Variant Hunter Scope which was sold to Heer .When I was in Germany a Collector Friend has Two of these Scopes also Kahles H/4X60 and Zeiss Zielsechs both also have recoil bar attached with 2 screws like in Senich Book both these Scopes have same Range Markings as Mine . These Scopes are most likely one of the Hardest Variants to obtain as most probably saw action on Eastern Front . I would also like a Dr Walter Gerard 3X LT . Yes there is a number I still want to try to find . I will post pics of this Zeiss Zielvier Hunter Scope that was sold to Heer . I have Copies of Original Paper Work that tells about one of these Turned in Hunters Scopes . Paper Work mentions when it was bought , the price , were it was sent , also that rings were removed and sent back to hunter and so on . These are some of the reason I believe if someone claims he knows all that was done or to say only this or that scope was used on say LT in 1943 is really setting himself up for a hard fall .

Excuse me for going on rambling to answer Your first Question I will Post Pics of the Butched Rifle that had the blc on it . It was on an i block byf 44 . Best Regards .

I agree Dave, there is a lot of scope types for LT '43...

Germans made a "buch" with low turret scopes used in 1943. That "soldatenbuch" is accurate as was one in the "Sniper Variations" about DIALYTAN patent.

I have some Zielvier, old Reichswehr contract with adjustment 100-1000m and focus 0+1+2+3 -1-2-3.

If you want too, I have some pics of a HT CAD scope and a early HT H/4x60.
