Even if you pointed it out, they'll say it's original cause it's frankenstein of original parts with few repro pieces added in.

He's got too much to gain to ever change it. Despite the previous owner here stating what it was in black and white.

That eagle holding the rifle made me nearly loose my coffee.

Agreed, new auction is dishonest. Especially since it's being broken up from the sun shield as well. -"black paint remains present on the "Zamac" (zinc alloy)" funny since it's aluminum -"There is no serial number engraved on the elevation turret, which leads me to believe this scope was...

Possible same person, but they were honest in their listings each time. I suspect new listing is a flipper. However the locations are only 2 hours apart from different postings...

It is a spielauer, because it was being offered here a while ago, then ebay for several weeks before disapearing to show up here. https://www.k98kforum.com/threads/fs-spielauer-cad-high-turret-scope.52171/ I also sent message about it earlier this morning...

Did you have any issue from ordering from aassniper98 website rohling81? I've tried in the past for their mounts and reached out to their service to no avail.

Just noticed first time on that picture, looks like the rear windage screws are removed and you can see daylight through them, or just camera glare.

German Hubble space scope turd.

This is a great pic wolfroc, any info about it or where you got it? I'm almost certain the fellow on the right is Sepp Allerberger.
