The ZF39 is the German designation for a normal scope. This means the ZF39 is mounted on the receiver and has the eye relief as any normal scope has.
Different to this the ZF41 is mounted to the rear sight base. It has an enlarged eye relief. Even if one is to make a mount that allows to put a ZF39 scope on the ZF41 rail, then it would not work, because the eye relief is too large.
(For what it's worth, the Germans also developed the ZF42(B), which never went into production and of which only a handful are known. This is also a large eye relief scope).

Would you happen have any photos of the ZF42(B) scope? I have heard of them for years but don’t remember seeing one.

ZF43(B)
Finally received my first ZF43(B) scope and thought I should share some pictures in here too - after all it is one of which very little is known, plus pictures are also rare (mainly from auctions). The pictures show the scope from all four sides, the last picture shows the scope with the rain...
