This telescopic sight was rescued from the scrap box at work this week, an old customer had brought it in with a load of old air rifles. I liked the look of it and guessed it may well be of wartime vintage and very possibly millitary issue, it is of steel construction with very clear glass, the adjustment screws on the mounts are made by Parker Hale and there is a stamp reading A Jack on the edge of the elevation turret mount, there is no windage adjustment that i can see. Any info that may be given will be gratefully recieved.

Wow, thats a surprise. i have since found out that the reticule is know as German Post #1 or #2 I wonder what the history of it was, glad it was saved from the scrap bin, it will stay with me and be part of my collection.
