As some here know, I've got a tendency to be attracted to old scopes from the 1800's and early 1900's. I also love some of the really neat scope mounts made for long range shooting in that era. This scope mount came up for sale recently, and I couldn't figure out what company made it, but it was so interesting I had to buy it. I still don't know who made it, and may take a long time to discover, but I like a good history chase too!
It has markings on the slide of 0-3-6-9 and five marks between each, so guessing it's set up for 900 yds. maybe?
The elevation adjustment is a rack and gear design with a locking lever to hold elevation at the bottom of the rack geared staff. Windage is simply slid left or right, and a setscrew in the dovetail locks the base in place.
The mount ring is 7/8" so it's designed for a slip tube over the typical 3/4" scope tube. A lot of old scopes had these tubes to hold vertical alignment.
So if anyone has any ideas, or might know a maker, I'm all ears!
