Can anyone identify this old scope? There are no markings. The scope has post reticle and is only adjustable for elevation. The rings attach to the bases with a series of allenhead screws with the rear ring having a windage adjustment. Funny thing was the rear scope base was steel and the front was aluminum. The scope is 7/8" steel. It appears to be a 1 or 2X at the most. It is clear but obviously the optics aren't that great. Is it worth anything?

The scope behind it is an (El Paso)Weaver K-6. Its solid and clear as well. Some light rust under the old rings. Again, worth anything? Collectable?

Finally, I need a standard magazine follower and magazine spring for a pre-64 Win 70, .270 Winchester caliber. Serial # is in the 180,0XX range. (when was it made?) Anyone have these parts in decent shape they'd sell reasonable or know where I can get them?

Thanks in advance.

The weaver is worth about $50-$60. I don't know for sure what the other one is.

You might try this in the classifieds.

Wisner's has new made pre-64 parts for sale.

The scope in front is definitely steel, 7/8" tube. The are absolutely no markings on it whatsoever except for the graduations of the elevation knob. As I said there is an aiming post instead of crosshairs--which leads me to believe its European in origin. Plus the bases/rigs use alot of allenhead screws which american gun makers didn't use alot of 50-60 years ago.

Thanks for all the help with everything else so far!

I've got a weaver LIGHT horizontal hair, with post, about 2.5X .. I'll pull the caps off it and post a pic.. it's a 1" tube, though...

Mount might be Leupold, in the '50's they made an adjustable mount that used allen screws, (I have one in 1" for a mod 70) Scope I do not know about. My guess is European, but strictly a guess. I never saw a Weaver like that, but I haven't seen everything!

I got a weaver 2.5 power scope that looks just like it. I think someone gave it to me. It is on my Marlin 1894 22 mag. Still works, but I am not sure that the weaver overhaul bunch would mess with it.
