Scope is real, but mounts are commercial. Probably post war applied onto recycled scope. Originally these scopes were mounted on short side rail system.

Jack
 
The mount is the Wiener Schnäppermontage, a commercial Austrian claw mount system. It seems the scope was butchered off a SS sniper rifle and used on a commercial hunting rifle. It is still valueable since scope rings can be desoldered. Since the SS Dienstglas engraving is still fully visible, it should bring good money.
