Voigtlander Rifle Scope ?
I could use some help learning more about a Voigtlander rifle scope brought back from Germany in about 1944. It sits on top of a M1908 Mannlicher that my father shipped back following the end of WWII. The scope is a tip-off type - meaning that it can be removed from the mounts by pushing a button on the base. Stamped below the name "Voigtlander" is the city "Braunschweig" and below that "No. 14108." There is a deer head stamped in the scope, along with the words "Scopar E." I find no further markings. I know that Voigtlander made cameras, but I know little else. Does the scope have value? It has about 50% of the finish remainging and the optics seem just fine, though I have never fired the gun using the scope or tried to zero same. Thanks for your help.

Voightlander
Voightlander made some very good optics 50-75 yrs ago. Yhe scope you have has some valus for certain but it in not up to the optical standards of today. The thing that may have the most value are the quick detach rings etc. They were made for the rifle and fitted to it. So don't separate the 2. Condition is everything when it comes to valus and means a lot on this one. Dom(who is in Germany) may be able to tell you a bit more and maybe even a value.
