Dave,
This scope never had a sun shade on it. The Germans never had a list of scope serial numbers that I am aware of. That is something some collectors have been using to try to categorize and avoid pitfalls in some cases. If this scope had sun shade it would be hard to remove from the gun, but it does not. I wish I could talk someone into publishing this list of serial numbers. I would be interested in seeing it. I would like to know the number ranges for the SC, Turret, and LSR (for the various different scopes). I have been looking for a Turret and LSR sniper that I like. I would like to know so I can make up my own mind. I am not saying the serial number comparison is completely wrong, but I am saying they are not totally right. I know of a another BMJ scope in this serial range with a recoil ring and no sun shade installed on another SC. Good to hear from you Dave. Thanks.
