<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dave85, post: 3393005, member: 18117&quot;]All I can tell you is that.........I&#039;ve got the exact same one! Just a few numbers between. Mine has got an scope extension and a wooden made-to-fit box it was stored in.</p><p><br /></p><p>The exact purpose is not known to me (it&#039;s been a year now, maybe you figured it out?) but I&#039;m pretty sure where it came from. A ship.</p><p><br /></p><p>This scope was acquired from the Dutch navy somewhere back in the 80s, specifically from a maintenance division that serviced electronic and optical equipment, known as MEB and later on as MEOB. It was probably once sold/let go as a surplus item.</p><p><br /></p><p>I thinke it&#039;s a scope for a 7,5cm gun, best guess a front mounted gun found on some of the ships operational during the early 30s and decades after.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe your scope has seen some action back in the Dutch East Indies, mine looks as if it has been on a shelf almost forever. Naval documents in the box indicates last looked after in 1949. However the sight rubbers are deteriorating/deteriorated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
