Rotor, that sure looks like a German scope that came off the rifle that wounded my dad in Belgium, during the Battle of the Bulge, WWII...........he couldn't get the rifle , but kept the scope & case.......... I have them........ looking for a proper rifle & mounts for it............the German sniper hit dad in the shoulder, his men in Company D, 310th of the 78th Div got him....... before he could get off a second shot.............

wow, what a story and what an item to have, i believe i would have to find a good k98 and go for it
