Beardo Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) Tracked this down... Used commonly in WW2 by the Germans. Ajack Scopes were German manufactured and of excellent quality, they were first imported into the United States from 1912 to 1914. Stoeger Arms Corp. of 507 Fifth Avenue New York marketed Ajack from 1937 to 1940 and was the sole U.S. agent and distributor during those years. Ajack scopes have individual binocular type focusing, elevation adjustments are internal and are locked in place with a set screw. Windage on early scopes, is adjusted at the scope mount. Starting in 1939 Ajack scopes were available with internal windage adjustments. World War II ended importation Ajack scopes but in 1954, Flaig's Sporting Goods reintroduced the Ajack line to the United States. The last known listing for Flaig's imported Ajack occurs in the 1964 Gun Digest. Edited January 15, 2009 by nickbeardo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardo Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) not a clue on value i'm afraid - try asking on http://www.milsurps.com it depends a lot of the age of the scope, whether it's military or civilian looking at the photo's i'd guess it's a post war civilian model, so not as valuable, but probably worth a reasonable amount.
