Greetings, I posted this in the optics forum but thought someone here might be able to help me. I have a Lyman Alaskan scope in 2-1/2 power with a serial number in the low 52000. I know it is post war. I think it was produce in the 50s or 60s. Does anyone know the age just by the serial number? I may post a picture. I have the originl box as well. Thanks for your help.

The Lyman Alaskans reached SN 55,000 by 1950 so yours likely was made in the late 1940s.

Thanks for the reply. This helps me a great deal. The guide it belonged to started guiding in 1949. Thanks again.
