WW2 K98  8mm 1940 dated  Service rifle fitted with WW2 era German Ajack scope

      This WW2 K98 has a manufacturing date of  1/40  (January 1940) and was manufactured by the German factory J.P Sauer & Sons.  This K98  has the Nazi German WaA37 (Waffern stamp) factory stamp for J.P Sauer & Sons on the receiver and barrel (see photos below).

​

   The scope fitted to this  1940 dated J.P Sauer & Sons K98 is by Hersteller: A. Jackenkroll, Berlin  2.5 x 70 who manufactured them from 1932 -1943.  

 

    Ajack scopes of this type were used on the WW2 sniper rifles of Germany and Switzerland and several other countries; however, this pre-war Ajack  was more likely sold with a very high-end European hunting rifle, observing the marking "Germany".

 

     Designed for low light and wider field conditions, this superb scope has a very bright image.
