Help-can someone help me date my scope?

[Meaty]

Hello,
I am trying to find out a bit more about a scope that I brought and have spent hours trawling the web in the blind hope that I come up trumps-no luck so far!
I am in the process of mounting it onto a CE1944 K98
Written on the scope is;
Hensoldt-Wetzlar Dural-Dialytan 4x 25584
It also has 'Made in Germany' on the turret base
If anyone could shed any light on the history of this it would be much appreciated.

Salut,

Do you have a photo pls ?
Hensoldt-Wetzlar made the Dialytan Mdl both before and after the war. Can you tell us were is the serial # is located pls ? if it is positioned in from of the elevation knobs, I am absolutly no specialist but I suspect it was made in the 50's ??

Hello Froggy,
I will try and post a photo when I get a moment. The serial # is on the horizontal centre line of the tube and just slightly behind the elevation turret. My thought was that the scope was a 50's model but this was more of a guess than an educated theory. smile2

Here she is.
Sorry about the quality of the photo but was taken with my phone.

re-
Thanks Meaty . The pre-war one I have seen has the name on the knob and the serial # on the turet not on the tube. But again, I am not expert & if it was offered to me with no chance to do further research I would treat it , maybe wrongly, as a postwar piece.
