ZF43(b)
7.92x57 - Germany - G41(W)





Not much information is available regarding the ZF43(b). Built by Emil Busch AG (cxn) in Rathenow during WWII, it is unclear how many of the scopes were produced and if they were ever issued.

Note the narrow lens is the front end of the scope while the wide lens is the back end.

The Meopta Orlov 4x scope is possibly a post war continuation of the ZF43(b) design.
