...arrived during my recuperation and I took photos today. The scope appears to be all steel with a 7/8" OD tube and is marked thusly:
The reticle is a simple tapered post with no horizontal wire and the eye relief is non-critical between limits of from 2.5" to 4.5".
Please note that the elevation knob is calibrated for one particular load, and out to a full 1000 yds!?!
The matching Noske mount is a solid one-piece affair held in place by 2 screws, mounting to a sturdy but compact dovetail plate screwed to the side of the receiver.
The one-piece construction and the non-quick-detach features are undoubtedly some of the things that doomed Noske. Both rings are made integral with the mount, severely limiting any versatility in the particular application.
The scope's optics are still very clear and I personally would rank it fairly high in quality and clarity as compared to other scopes of the day. IOW this example appears to be better than early Weavers and equal to my Lyman All-Weather Alaskan, but my experience with early optics is very limited and YMMV. The adjustments are click-detented but I have no idea of the click increments.
Questions and comments are invited.
