Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:25123144 |
You are bidding on a SUPERB used example of a WW2 German Heer / Luftwaffe ZF4 (Zielfernrohr 4) Sniper Scope, Eye Cup, Leather/Wood Lens Cover! This was made for use on the G43/K43, MP44, and FG42 in use with various units throughout WW2!The Gewehr-Zielfernrohr 4-fach (Gw ZF4x) or 4-Power Telescopic Rifle Sight, was designed after a thorough examination of the Soviet PU telescopic sight and the semi-automatic M1940 Tokarev rifle. It was concluded th...at the German military wanted a copy as fast as possible. This new scope was to be for us in conjunction with the newly produced G43/K43 semi-automatic rifle. Though mass-produced for use on all rifles, it was quite capable as a sniper sight, but unfortunately quality control was not consistent. In capable hands and when constructed properly, the ZF4 was sufficiently successful in its role. Made of a stamped construction, it featured an elevation adjustment knob on the right side, with markings laid out in 50-meter increments, from 100 to 800 meters. Windage was adjusted via a knob mounted on the top. The reticle is the typical German Three-Post system. The Gewehr 43 or Karabiner 43 (abbreviated G43, K43, Gew 43, Kar 43) is a 7.92×57mm Mauser caliber semi-automatic rifle developed by Nazi Germany during World War II. The design was based on that of the earlier G41(W), but incorporating an improved short-stroke piston gas system similar to that of the Soviet Tokarev SVT-40, and it incorporated innovative mass-production techniques. Made of stamped steel, this ZF4 / K43 sniper scope is in EXCELLENT used condition! Made by ddx (Voigtlander), there are some slight marks, wear, and scratches due to the age, but features no corrosion, pitting, or damage! The manufacture code is prominently stamped into the side, and both the elevation and windage knobs work 100% correctly! The optics are VERY CLEAR with no spotting...but they are very slightly hazy. The rubber eye cup; lens covers; scope bands; and scope band screws, are all 100% ORIGINAL to this set-up! Apart from 2 cracks in the frontal band (this will only be good for display), there is NO major damage!it. Would make an EXCELLENT addition to any collection or display!
