Isn't this a 2.5x10 scope for a Type 97 or 99 Arisaka as shown?

One of these scopes sold on ebay.com recently for over $2500 so someone could get a bargain.

Exactly why I passed it on. The guy selling it is a militaria/Victorian ephemera dealer and probably doesn't know too much about firearms-related parts like this. I keep an eye on his listings and can't remember anything of tis nature coming up before.
I'm sure it would be a good buy for someone.

A quick look on some US forums shows beat up scopes with no case selling for around $1000, from what I quickly found at appears only around 5500 were produced.......compared to 300,000 Russian PU scopes in one factory alone!.

Wow - the Grinch just rode into town, sorry for trying to help somebody. Remind me to post where you can't whinge over it next time.
People are hardly falling over themselves bidding.
