How about a Bausch and Lomb Balvar?
Definitely different and cool circa 1955
Are you sure about that date? I read this..............
"In 1962, Bausch and Lomb marketed their first series of rifle scopes, called the Balfour. BAL was an abbreviation for Bausch and Lomb and “four” was the power of the scope. This scope was a success, which led to the introduction of other B&L models, including a very popular variable model called the Balvar (var meaning variable). Many people commonly think that the scope series was a “Balvar” and didn’t realize that it was a combination of the abbreviation and the scope settings. Most of the Balvar models were a variable 2.5 to 8 power scope."

https://rifle-scope-guide.com/bausch-and-lomb-scopes/ I think I'll pass on the Balvar. I don't want a variable. What I really want is a fixed 8 or 10. May end up with a nice old Weaver K.
