Hello, nice LT Zeiss Zielsechs. My best guess is it post 30,000 serial range. The meter dial looks to be the serated with groove varient and not the pre 30,000 serial full knurled varient . later vaughn

Hello, as Mr. Farb Pointed out I was talking about stock blanks not a finish completely done stock. I thought you were asking about blank sorry about that!!! later vaughn

Hello, with out kiln drying to speed things up as long as you waxed the ends properly it take roughly 18-24 months for it to dry properly from my research but it's been a while so i am trying to remember correctly : ) there is a formula of square inches total = a certain amount of time. later...

Hello, rings to close not correct, serial is out of range for WWI, no gew 98 serial present, serial to early for Reichswehr sniper, biggest it has the focus ring, 100% commercial. with all that said WWI optics are not my strong suite. later vaughn

Hello Absolut, I see the pitting etc but several things bothered me about this scope when i saw it for sale. Now do I know everything no but from my database this should have the Arrow marking on the tube for 1-8 indicator not a Triangle. The biggest is the serial font, this font was last seen...

Hello, To remove the scope you have to unscrew rear ocular. you also need to remove the saddle. then loosen the 2 ring screws and will slide off. oil scope body gingerly BEFORE you remove the saddle don't want crap on the reticule, as it will help slide off if a wee bit tight fit to reduce or...

Hello, I am a little confused why do you think this is a east german zeiss?? is it becasue its Jena marking?? if that is why then that is not correct. all the scopes are marked this way from 1921-1945. your scope has a faint "Z" unscrubbed under the Zeiss Logo as previously mentioned. this Z...

Hello, I have 2 observations of a Gerard Model D in the 3000 serial range with the very early engraved and Berlin address which very shortly after was changed the Charlottenberg (spelling) address. with this I believe that the model D was introduced before 1921. I have also found post WWII...

Hello, the serial font on the mounts it incorrect. the scope was never used on SS SC rifles. the focus ring become usless when you clamp down on the ring srews and DKL morking incorrect. the rings are NOT the New Zeland type. They are not roberts the construction of the front base is not his...

Hello, the mounts are a reproduction of the mauser oberndorf double square bridge commecial rifles. A real double square bridge receivers will have the bases as 1 with the recevier not a solder add on with the rings you see here matted. this rifle has been made recently you can see that all the...

Hello, yep there are a few observations in the 55,000 range you are correct. As I re-read my post I was not clear I made it sound like they dropped the model K as soon as they bought it which is not correct. when the scope markings dropped the Gerard-Landlicht and was only marked Landlicht the...

Hello, Scope is the later version made in the early to mid 20's probably in the 51,801-55,782 serial range due to serial font & placement seen in pics but can't read. The rear ocular housing had its own shape when Landlicht took over production and will have the mid transition of...

Hello, Thanks for checking it looks like a new varient and mine look like originals? I will be pulling the fornt base off to see what year the rifle is soon if still marked due to heavy scrubbing present. it looks like a super tiny world when it comes to WWI stuff! I have been try to build some...

Hello, Zeiss scope is a parts scope. has completely the wrong saddle assembly for this serial its from an earlier scope. I rarely see parts swapped around on zeiss scopes!!! later vaughn

Hello All, I am way behind on my info for Gew98 stuff. With that said I bought this barreled receiver. it clearly is NOT a WWI built sniper. The front base was mounted on a soldered spacer to raise it higher for a large ring setting as this is a Kar98a barreled receiver. the front base is also...
