Please Note: Estimate should be $12,500-$15,000 EXCEEDINGLY RARE ZF4 SCOPE WITH DOUBLE FG 42 SCOPE MOUNTS.SN 38613. Once in a lifetime opportunity to obtain one of the very rare, genuine, original ZF4 scopes outfitted with purpose made mounts for the FG 42 rifle. This pattern mount is the only type that fits correctly and clamps both mount feet to the receiver rails on Krieghoff (“fzs”) made second pattern FG42s. Scope itself is in excellent condition. Marked “Gw ZF4 38613 ddx”. it is also marked with a green filled triangle indicating the type of lubricant used, as well as an additional large “L” engraved to the right, indicating Luftwaffe issue. The scope comes with an orig windage cover, good condition but stiff eye piece and fragile & torn wood, leather and Presstoff cover. The mounts themselves are phosphated sheet metal stampings. They are secured to the top of the FG42, via two stamped levers quite unlike the post war reproductions that are seen. The split mount rings are correctly tack welded under the mount foot preventing removal. The rear mount is SN 04522. This set up is illustrated in several publications to include Death from Above and others. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Exceptional overall. Scope retains 99% of bluing. Mechanically functional and optics clear. Leather cover is in poor condition as indicated above. Both FG42 mounts retain 99% phosphate, mechanically functional and complete. 4-53363 DW35 (12,500-15,000) – Lot 3194
