Lot 2978 | Zielfernrohr ZF 42 der Luftwaffe
Estimate value
€ 4 000
Sehr gut erhaltenes ZF der deutschen Luftwaffe, Mittelteil des ZF in Messing gefertigt, Einblick und Objektiv in Stahl gefasst, diese Teile brüniert mit etwas Flugrost. in Schußrichtung rechts beschriftet "ZFG42 / Fl52973 / ddx / 10V 274". Unterseite mit Schwalbenschwanz zur Fixierung am Flugzeug. Klare Durchsicht, Absehenverstellung in Ordnung, Abdeckkappen der Türmchen vorhanden. Um dieses absolut rare Gerät ZF42 ranken sich diverse Vermutungen, ursprünglich aber zur Verwendung in Flugzeugen (Me 110 / Me 210) zur Kontrolle der Treffpunktlage / Schussgenauigkeit des Reflexvisiers am Boden eingesetzt. Ausser der Verwendung in Flugzeugen sind aber auch Bilder bekannt, die das ZF auf dem FG42 mit spezieller Montage, ähnlich der ZF4 Montage zeigen, eben ohne die beim ZF4 gebräuchlichen Blechschellen. Die Verwendung auf dem FG 42 kam aber wohl erst nachträglich hinzu.
A Luftwaffe scope mod. ZF 42
A rare scope of the German Luftwaffe in very good condition. The center part made of brass, both ends steel covered, blued, with some minor surface corrosion. The right hand side marked "ZFG42 / Fl52973 / ddx / 10V 274". On the underside a dovetail for mounting on an aircraft. Clear optics, mechanically ok, with both caps for the adjustments.
This device is not very well documented. It is safe to assume that was originally made for use with Me 110 and Me 210 to set the aircraft's gun sights on the shooting range. However, there are fotos showing an FG42 with this scope, mounted without the clamps typical for the standard ZF4 mounting. This is probably a later, unintended application.
