surprise, surprise

have two Zielvier

one is a pre war SN 23201 that was recycle in the 1960s/70s for a Haenel airgun

and the other is a post war Zeiss /Jena SN 119003 without the name "Zeiss" on my Mosin sporter

you see that the engraving on your scope is not like this. it was new to me that there is a new made copy in the ukraine made for 98k shooter http://kievcamera.net/product.php?id_product=63

"All steel made at the Ukrainian Military optic factory
Lenses made from original Rerman drawing
POWER X4.2
Will handle recoil even if you put it on AK47
we ship it around the world"

look a little bit around: here for sale in france http://www.delcampe.net/page/item/id,150078724,var,LUNETTE-ZF-39,language,E.html

it seems every scope get an own serial number, here SN 54643

here on ebay http://ebays.com.ua/catalog/show/121338631180/
with SN 60030

so I would say what you have is such a ukrainian made copy. the optic is probably good like the WW 2 stuff because the biggest problem than - to make the lens - is easy today because of modern machinery.

paying 50 euro for this including the side mount seems not a bad business
