Why 6,5x68 ? Text just says 8x68 which, as you should know, was and still is very common caliber in Germany, developed in the 1930s by August Schüler of the August Schüler Waffenfabrik, Suhl.
Both the 8x68S and 6.5x68 were developed neither by vom Hofe nor by Schüler, but by RWS, the ammo company, 8x68S in 1939,6.5x68 in 1940.
