Kahles/Photonic ZF95 6×42 Rifle Scopes
A unique and hard to find item from Israeli military surplus the Kahles/Photonic ZF95 6x42 rifle Scopes. The scopes are marked with צ (the letter Tzadik of the Hebrew alphabet) the Israeli military mark. Each original scope came with the extended rubber eye relief. These scopes were used by Israeli military snipers and marksman and some special police units. They are unmarked by Kahles for political reasons since the Austrian government didn't want to be known as supplying Israel with arms related materials.
Before using this daytime rifle scope optic, the IDF used the Japanese made Nimrod 6x42 mm scope. These were used from the mid 1970's to the mid 1990's and replaced in 1994 by the Austrian made Kahles ZF95 also known as the Swarovski Futonic (or Photonic) 6x42 mm scope, and used up to 1999 when the M14 was taken out of regular service military units and replaced by the M24 SWS. The Kahles ZF95 scopes are also known in Israel as the Photonic 6x42.
Scope diameter: 26mm

Japanese Samurai Bajo Jingasa (Riding Battle Hat)
Samurai Bajo Jingasa (Riding Battle Hat) were worn mainly by officers a the end of the Sengoku period (1467-1615) and through the Edo period (1603-1868) and a little after. Traditionally a defensive helmet, they were allegedly first crafted from wood, leather, lacquered rawhide, then iron and later steel. The combination of these elements provided a good head protection against sword blows. The bajo-gasa jingasa are shaped like low round hills, believed to decrease wind resistance while on horseback. The inside was padded with a cushion liner secured by ribbons that would be tied and secured under the chin.
The Jingasa were traditionally lacquered in black and would typically bear the mon (crest) of their clan or that of their unit, allowing forces to be easily identified in the battlefield and from afar. These mon were often painted in gold color like in this bajogasa for sale.
The Samurai bajo-jingasa here is in excellent condition showing the mon (crest) of the Maru Ni Tsuru Gashiwa.
It is probably from the late Edo period (mid 19th century).
Dimensions: about 36 cm x 34 cm (14.17 x 13.38 inches)
