Markings                                                                  


Normally the scope and mounts are considered as one item , and in the outward appearance , all ZF41   scopes and mounts are guite similair .
A closer examination of the scopes reveals many variations in the markings , rain schields and the focusing rings .
























All mounts have the designation etched on the rear mount arm as schown . 
















     By observation (thanks to J.P Hayon - vintagescope to mention me this)
    There is a difference between the early and late mounts markings .

              
          Early mount only with WaA 214   = Very early mount for K98/ZF41 duv41 (flat mount )

   
  
   

     Early mount with WaA 214 above duv  = ar rifles / 41-42-43 .
  
  

                    Late war mount = byf 43 and 44

  


    On the inside of the mount you find also markings , but is not always the same marking .
    Early mounts have on each leg ( not always )a marking .
   
Late mounts have one marking.
   No explanation found at this moment what  these marks means .

         Early mounts : cxn (flat rollers)  :   j - 6
