Hensoldt - Wetzlar Ziel - Dialyt Scope

[AntiqueOutings]

Got My Hensoldt - Wetzlar Ziel - Dialyt 2 3/4x scope. This one I believe is a WW1 scope and I wanted it because of that, well and the fact that I haven't been able to track down a 3x scope. It's got the right amount of patina and weathering.

What mounts were originally used in Star Wars, that I might be able to track down?

AFAIK, the scope mount's maker has not been identified.

All working guns were apparently rented from Bapty's, which was in the business of renting guns to movie productions. The scope and mount have been identified as also appearing in Sitting Target (1972) with Oliver Reed where they were mounted onto a different Mauser C96 gun than the one in Star Wars. There is a lot about it in the long discussion thread.
