:-/Hmmm, this looks like a poor copy of the Marushin K98 mount (whats with the hose clips?) The trouble with this is that it is actually not even modeled on a correct K98 mount at all but is a copy of a G43/MP44 mount for the ZF4 scope which would attach to the righthand side of the receiver and not the left side as it is here!
Why cant these guys do their research properly and produce a correct long or short K98 side mount or even a nice set of Turret mounts and a nice ZF39 replica. They would sell like hotcakes!!!

I know next to nothing about k98's, but here are the pictures. Sorry they're kind of small, too small, I will try to change that.Edit:

Those mounts don't look good at all. Hopefully they are just a prototype.

I think those are also a modern scope mount. The WWII ones where either foward mounted low power or on a tower mount. I have never seen a WWII sidemount for a Kar98 like that.

Did the Germans use hose clamps to secure the scope to the mount?

Side mounts for the K98 did exist in WWII but they should look like this: Like I say, they have copied the Marushin mount which is actually a G43 ZF4 mount like this:

Yes,as stated above sidemonted scope optics where used on the kar98,..And i have seen pictures of ZF4 scope monts on kar98:s as well,mounted on the left side.. But that scopemount is damn ugly!
