Sniper Pictures

#1 from the OP has been my avatar for years!!

I love that pic, it has it all...SS sniper latewar, LSR with an Ajack, on the Eastern Front, camo. All my favorite stuff.

I brush-upped my memory.
The difference is that the objective bell is in different piece or in one piece with the main tube.
The pictured one here is:
Hensoldt Wetzlar DIALYTAN pre-war commercial 3 piece

I understand pre-war and early bmj are 3, late bmj (74500- from my old database) and post war are 4.
Am I right?

I would really like a set up like this. I am finding that it is hard to find one of these scope/mount/base sets still in tact.

Anybody else notice that the tunic sleeves are almost always too short? That would drive me banannas!

Hello Dave
My answer is 3?
After all, I do not know much about 4 power scopes.
Anyone else?

Hi Ken
Actually the Scope is a 4 Piece like in these 2 photos .

Interestingly Stormfront.org lists Friedrich Pein but not Josef Preiss.
Both were soldiers of Jäger Regiment 227, had more than 200 confirmed kills and were awarded the knights cross.

This photo has always been one of my most favorite . Not only because of the HT but more because of his look of intensity and concentration in the eyes of this Sniper . Best Regards .

To me this is also only one of very few I know with winter trigger.

Hello,

yes one of the few SSR mounts that is J.P.Sauer and either 1942 or 1943. probably 1942 due to the Zeiss Zielvier. GREAT pics

Love the gloves and camo tunic

 

[Absolut]

I love it for the fact that it is a DKL scope (note no step in sunshade! Therefore it can't be a BMJ) on SSR Type III mount. So probably a very late Sauer assembled rifle since they were almost the only user of the DKL scopes.

Edit: is that a reinforcement bolt in the stock, right behind the bolt handle clearout?

notice the small take down disc only seen on JPS rifles... Means a lot.
