Ya i came across a WWII Mossberg scope that has a NO. 4 on it. I didn't buy it because i wasn't sure exactly what the history of it was or for that matter what country made it. The NO. 4 grabbed my attention because i am a beginning Enfield collector. I do not know if this is British or what. Any help in the identification and information on this scope, along with value in 90% condition would be appreciated 0 -
You didn't give us much to work with. (Photo?)
But, this Weaver scope with a 3/4" straight tube was designed in the 30's, & is 2.2X:

wow that is a tough one ! any makers name or model # 0 -
It will be only an estimate but I would pick something at say 50 yards. Use a standard 3x9 and compare the image obtained at each power to your mystery scope.
I think you could work it out mathematically but measurement are critical.0 -
Aim a range finder thru the scope, then aim at same object not thru the scope and divide the scope range finder into the non scope range and you have it.
If it's actually 15 feet long as you state might take awhile with the ciphering.
Also I had one of the old 3/4inch tube scopes that just laid around in cabinet for several years, seen some vintage sniper scopes on ebay and looked carefully at the marking on mine and wow, sure enough, sold it on ebay for like $300. The bidders fought over the scope up until the final closing. The guy that bought the scope was a redneck from Alabama sent me a email and said he needed to sell some hogs and chickens and coon hides and go to the bank and would be about 5 days before he could pay. 5 days later he mailed me a USPS Money Order.
I think maybe my old scope was a old Alaskan Lyman with a dot reticle, but not sure.
I think maybe Leupold about 10 years ago cloned and sold some of the old Alaskan Lyman scopes for collectors.
Take a close look at yours, might be a sleeper.0 -
I have several of the vintage Mossberg scopes and they are about 15" long--Weavers are a good bit shorter. If it's a Mossberg, the markings are quite faint and they are probably on the down range end of the scope and will be something like M4c. Most of the old Mossberg scopes are 4X 0 -
Even if it were something nice like a Small Game Unertl, it would be 4 to 6 power. 0
