Default Sniper scope accessories

Yesterday I bought two sniper scope accessories. Rubber eye cup and leather lense cover. I was missing these and searching for long, long time. I hope I was lucky. What do You think?

I think you had a great score! I have both the same cover and the same eyepiece.

Nice find.

Never found an original rubber eyepiece like yours nor original scope caps, but did find original Kahles H /4 x 60 / cad rubber scope eyepiece from collector friend of mine. Links to picture here with original wartime photo.

Both appear to be very nice and hard to find items. I too have an orignal eye cup and it is the only real one that I have been able to obtain since i started looking for them in 1988 or so.

Is the Ajack set up as a low or high turret mount? I could tell if I saw the bottom of the front base.

I know that there are Ajacks in the 47000 range fitted on h block 1943 Low turrets (byf), but I also think that some High Turrets may have started being made in that timeframe as well.
