Are Zeiss & Swarovski Sunshades interchangeable?

[Jimmy767]

Trying to locate a 56mm sunshade for my Swaro and I can't find any. I've seen several 'may fit' examples but nothing certain. Normally I'd just order it and see but with the exchange rate and absolute hassles at the border I'd rather use duct tape so if anybody knows if S&B or Zeiss etc sunshades are interchangeable, I'd love to hear from you!
Thanks alot,
Jim

Ok fellas...I've got a 56mm Swaro Habicht. Swaro says no longer avail on the sunshades. There's a site that lists newer model sunshades but they don't have any stock. I'm wondering if anyone has borrowed/tried a buddies Zeiss, S&B, sightron etc with success? Surely I can't be the first human to query this?! Tell me what does, and what doesn't work please.
Thanks,
Jim

Try finding a 52mm sunshade for a Swaro! They never even made them Leupold made/makes 56mm sunshades, sorry I don't have anything more concrete.

I wonder if Jerry at Mystic Precision would have any experience with this?
