Brand of German Scope?

Anyone know who's logo this is on my 6x42/49 scope with claw mounts? It looks exactly like a Geco but has this shield logo instead of Geco name. Thanks.

The logo is the one of Gustav Jehn in Lippstadt, a German wholesaler, see http://www.jehn.de/ . These scopes, Jehn , Geco and other marked ones, were made for the trade in the 1960s by Schmidt & Bender, before they started to sell scopes with their own name.
