Here are some pictures of a recent acquisition that I am still in disbelief over...

Adjustment knobs function and the reticle moves inside the scope accordingly. Nice thick reticle and very well built. This is an early scope re-marked to the later designation.

Granite, why are you in disbelief........because of how ultra rare it is or the super deal you got it for? Elaborate we want a good story!!!
Anyhow very, very nice find!!! I wonder why it's just broad arrow marked and not C broad arrow marked...was this one sent over the pond for the Brit's and they marked it??
 
From the 'buy the gun, not the story' line, this was used in Korea and I am supposed to be getting family info on it and hopefully a picture with the original user, now long gone. Just one of those right time right place things. I do want to keep the history with it if I can though, that makes it very special I think.
 
The majority of the telescopes were broadarrow marked as opposed to C/l\

As to the disbelief, I am privy to the story.......Granite is a bloodhound when it comes to a deal, but is unable to fit into an airline seat due to the humungous horseshoe in his ass.
 
Way to go guys......good you worked it out. Did you have to play tug-o-war?? Good find again Granite, it could have been stuffed in some decrepit junk drawer for the next 150 yrs or worse yet made its way into the trash can!!! Seaforth 72.... I knew you were going to be hot on the trail of that one!! Way to go guys, good you worked it out. It's going to go a good home where it will be cherished and maybe.............. written about??
 
I forgot to mention the improvement over the No32 vertical post.....at least the way I see it, looks to be a lot more of a defined tip, more of a precise aiming point.
Probably a bunch lighter as well....anybody know what the scope and bracket weight as opposed to the No32?
Tougher? Probably the No32, but that's just a uneducated guess.

Before the scope was even in Granite's possession I had already put the two together. I know both these guys, and where they are headed with their collections, and knew there was going to be a deal worked between them.

Sad part is there was no taste for the broker/middleman. I don't get nuthin :( But the odds are they were going to find each other anyway.
 
Well I'll buy you lunch next time. I do appreciate the match making, perhaps a new enterprise for you? LOL

bros, I'll put the scope on a scale and get a weight if I get a chance. It's definitely lighter than a 32.
 
Wow great find Granite.

It's always great to see the treasures that are found by members here. It keeps me going on my searches looking to find rare or impossible to find milsurps.

Some of the rarest stuff in my collection has been found by accident I will admit.
