Basically I'm building my first sniper rifle, a single claw clone with an original (postwar I believe albeit steel body) zeiss zielvier scope. Any and all help appreciated, image attached below

Looking for how to operate the scope, never worked with 80 year old optics before

Windage is in the mount. Elevation is on dial.

A diagram of some kind would be super useful

this is for the Chinese reproduction Zeiss but should be the same. The windage is usually a screw at the rear of mount to adjust left or right
