Apr 13, 2012 · Hi all, I have this German ZF4 scope that I found while cleaning out some old boxes of stuff at my house. If I remember correctly I picked it up at a swap meet years ago for pretty cheap. I am not sure if it is a real one or a reproduction. It looks like it could be real but before I sell it I wanted to ask the experts so I dont misrepresent it.

The Meopta are close to being a new-build original, in that Meopta was the post-WW2 company formed from several pre-WW2 and WW2 era companies which included Optikotechna (dow) who were one of the contractors that made the ZF4 scope during WW2, and have access to original documentation to re-create them, plus even some of the original equipment.

Mar 6, 2012 · I have a nice German GW ZF4 scope sitting around that I will likely never use. I figure I might as well sell it to someone who needs it to help fund some future projects, but I dont really know what to ask for it.
