GERMAN WWI SNIPER SCOPE showcasing fine craftsmanship and well-preservedAs WWI progressed, sniping from the trenches became more prevalent, the German Army found themselves short of sniper scopes and managed to purchase either privately or commercially many sniper scopes used on hunting rifles pre WWI. This excellent example measuring 36cm in length, maker marked S. Fuess Steglitz Berlin to the graduating turn key, marked Helios 8 to the viewing end. Nice condition, excellent optics, some of the black finish is missing
