  My guess is that someone simply wanted more power than the typical 3 & 4 power that the 438 offered. Its value would depend on its condition. I'll try to find some info on it and will update this post if I'm successful.
  
  Added: Litschert/Davis Scope Attachments were install it yourself attachments that came in the Varmint Master was a Hunting Scope that did not require threading of scope tube for installation. It came with complete instructions for installation. It had a 1&1/4" bell, coated lenses, and improved focusing adjustment. The Targeteer Hunting Scope is shown as $25.00, with the Varmint Master selling between $17.50 & $20.00. From what I can make out in the reference the higher priced Targeteer was 8 power, and the Varmint Master was 6 power. RE: Stroebel's Old Rifle Scopes.

  Pages 113-116 of Old Rifle Scopes by Stroebel has info on Litschert (later Davis Optical Company).
