To answer the question of when variable scopes were first made I found this:

From the corporate Zeiss website:

"Milestones established by the company include two hunting riflescopes with variable magnification in 1922: the ZEISS Zielmulti and Zielmultar"

http://corporate.zeiss.com/history/en_au/technical-milestones/riflescopes.html

Here is another reference to the Zeiss scopes fromGunbroker http://forums.gunbroker.com/topic.asp?topic_id=179593:

"Variables evolved: the Zielmulti 1-4X and Zielmultar 1-6X. Though optically excellent, these scopes were heavy and had small fields of view."

I've posted this is your thread on the milsurps forum.
 
Ok so I'm still trying to take a good picture through the scope so you can see the clarity. The picture has blurred images around the edges but those aren't truly there when looking with your eye. Boston Pizza is 500-600 yards away.
