These aiming point projectors were made as a result of a joint venture between Heckler & Koch and Hensoldt. They were essentially an early version of today's IR illuminators and flashlights, with the Hensoldt Aiming Point Projector throwing a a circular beam with a dark aiming point in the center for both identification and engagement. This is a second model ZPP, serial number 158360, with a German STANAG claw mount that mounts to HK MP5, HK53, HK 33, and HK G3 rifles. Second variation green painted box with correct cutouts for projector, manual, lens cloth, lens brush, bulb adjustment tool (frequently referred to as as an IR filter), 2 spare bulbs, 2 hex keys, and 5 modern C batteries (which function correctly), all included. Additionally, there is an HK Battery Holder, ID NO 975020, 2 NiCd batteries with HK markings, and an HK battery charger (still in what appears to be the original tape sealed plastic bag). CONDITION: Excellent plus overall, probably New Old Stock, showing only extremely minor marks from handling. Most noticeable marks on battery tube. Operates correctly with clear illumination and aiming point. Case is excellent with minor marks en suite. Less than 100 examples are believed to have been imported into the United States, and finding one in this condition and with accompanying accessories is incredible. EMW
