Hey there!
I just got this in yesterday:
Now, on the opposite side, just under the knob, it says "Hensoldt Wetzlar Dialyt 3x". As I understand, the real one was a "Ziel-Dialyt". I haven't been able to find any other difference than the missing "Ziel-" though, the scope seems to be pretty close. So I contacted a few members that have the real deal:
Wakal told me that there are different variants of the scope and he's never seen two the same. Mine seems to be pretty accurate though, except the windage knob.
Pulseriflefan told me that it might be just slightly off, but I'm not seeing it really, to me there seems to be no other difference to the real thing than the missing engraving "Ziel-", the different windage knob, the Mauser mounts and the weird white sticker residue. Then again, it took me several months to spot the differences between an AP and a TE stormtrooper helmet, so I might not be the best judge of accuracy.
Also, I was told from someone that it was off in several places and not what was used on the Mauser, although I think Wakal and Pulseriflefan are more trustworthy AND knowledgeable sources.
Nonetheless, I'd like some more input from people "in the know" what exactly I have here. Wakal said that no two Dialyt 3x are the same, so I wonder who here HAS a Hensoldt. From what I've heard, it seems to be a pretty exclusive club.
I'm pretty happy with this scope, although it might not be 100% accurate. For 70 Euro, it still gives me a warm feeling inside, hehe.
OK, so now all I need is a replica of the mount... or better, someone to finally identify the mount! But I'd settle with a decent replica... anyone got one?
