Help Needed Please With An Older Scope Mount.

[paulhardwick]

Hi all sorry to be a pain with keep asking questions, I just got from a very nice Polish seller on ebay a stunning older Zeiss T* Diatal 6X42 scope with an inch diameter tube, BUT it has a flat rail on the bottom of the scope, it's dovetail in cross section at the widest point it is 14.5mm narrowing to 10.5mm at the base of the dovetail, I know this is an older scope, but I wondered if anyone knows of anywhere I could buy some mounts?? Or have I got to make some, I'm nearly 70 but am not a bad model engineer if I have to, any help gratefully accepted. Optically the scope is absolutely stunning!!!
Kind Regards Paul

Many thanks for your help, they are EXPENSIVE!!! I'll have a trip to my workshop and modify some existing mounts to see if it can be done, on a more friendly budget!!!

I'll try to put some pics up of the scope as the dovetail on mine external on the scope not internal as the mounts from the link

Might be worth giving this chap a call for advice. He also deals in vintage scopes and mounts and has always been very helpful-
