Hello DORLEAC,

This is my first post down here in spite I am a reader of this forum from a year ago. I am a hunter for most of my life, living since 1980 in Bariloche, Argentine Patagonia.
I am an admirer of your work, indeed! I have some of my guns inherited from my grandfhater, a Frenchman, including one Gastinne-Renette side by side 12 ga shotgun made around 1900, with the only inscription under the flat of the barrels: "LEOPOLD BERNARD" (in one side) and "CANNONIER A PARIS" (in the other barrel). Just a curiosity...By the way, I have some relatives living now in France, near your town. I am going by June and would be really glad to visit your shop!

After this kind of presentation, my question is: I would like to know your oppinion about this Zeiss (or Hensoldt) Diavari 1,5-6x36. And some comentaries, if you are able to do, about this model in relation with the later ZA, Z and Victorys.

Thank you!

PatagonHunter

Joel,

As always, thanks for the build pictures, my friend! It is the mark of a true perfectionist when you carefully document all your gun builds for the future.

Whoever buys this masterpiece will be as happy as the original owner!

Patagon Hunter,

Leopold BERNARD was a top notch French barrel maker from the end of the IXX° century.
Gastinne-Renette, also a great name in the gun trade and gun making, was one of the most prestigious firms at the same period.
Now, about the "Diavari" D 1,5-6x36, it is the last of the classic Zeiss scopes and was produced until the end of sixties, before the advent of the Z and ZA newest line.
Indeed they are of top notch quality and if well preserved much better than 80% of the modern imported scopes now on the market.
However they can’t compete with the present products from ZEISS, SWAROVSKI, S&B or KHALES, but I like their look and their superb lacquered finish.
