Original German ZF-41 Scope with Metal Carry Case – duv WaA214 Scope / jvb WaA254 Case
This is an original WWII German ZF-41 scope complete with its correct wartime metal carry case. The scope itself is clearly marked duv (Berlin-Lübecker Maschinenfabrik) with the WaA214 Waffenamt acceptance stamp, confirming genuine wartime manufacture for the German military. Designed for use on the Karabiner 98k, the ZF-41 was widely issued to designated marksmen and valued for its compact size, durability, and quick target acquisition.
The scope retains its original blued finish with crisp factory markings. The optics are intact and maintain usable clarity for display, showing the correct German reticle pattern. Elevation and windage adjustments turn smoothly, and the mounting base is complete and unmodified. This is a fully original, non-refinished wartime example—no reproduction or postwar alterations.
The included metal carry case is marked jvb (Wessel & Müller, Beschlagfabrik) with WaA254 Waffenamt, showing correct wartime manufacture. The case retains its original field paint with light service wear and has a functional latch and hinge. The internal pads are intact, designed to protect the scope during transport.
Original ZF-41 scopes paired with properly marked wartime cases are becoming increasingly scarce, making this a standout piece for serious WWII German militaria collectors and K98k enthusiasts. Whether displayed on a rifle or in its case, this set embodies authentic front-line history.
