Thought I would share this scope since it is a rather uncommon variation to be found which finally made its way into my collection:
Very early Ajack scope which is not "SS Dienstglas" marked yet. Also note the scope mount is not made by Weihrauch (no HWZ nor Weihrauch marking!) but of the "Police/Köhler type" which is beveled between the rings.
Another interesting detail is the elevation turret, which sits 180 degrees turned on the scope. But since the traces of the rings and the elevation housing on the scope tube clearly show that they were installed in this way since 1945, I will leave it this way.
While it may have survived in rather poor condition, considering that it was found in a lake makes the condition it had survived in quite astonishing. Needless to say that the elevation adjustment is fully and easily working.
