As part of the ongoing work for the chapter on Mauser Oberndorf, I present
this jem. Courtesy of one of our members, I "borrowed" this for a few weeks.
Thanks Paul! Will be adding more pics in the next 2 days. Simply amazing.\
Dave is correct in that this was a test bed for the Jung scope system.
Here is a note from Jon:
Here is a pic from the original Mauser research department report for the month of August 1944 that shows the listing for the Jung scope and mount status which mentions that the parts and drawings have been returned and the contract terminated for this project as the arma had no interest in this unit and there were efforts underway to develop another form of 4x scope .
He also sent me the image of the Jung scope compared to a ZF4 and ZF41. Most interesting.
As opposed to the JPSauer swept back mount and rarity, I would have to defer to this example as being one of the rarest among known examples. Perhaps Dave might want to comment on this.
The machined aluminum bedding is obvious from the pics and shows to what extent Mauser was willing to go to test the accuracy of this
platform. The gun is box cut behind the rear band but he didnt cut through the alum. channel.
