I been trying to find when the scopes like Unertl and Lyman were available.

What year did the Unertl and Lyman start being produced, with the 3/4" tube.

Lyman bought the rights to the Winchester A-5 scope in 1928 and produced it as their 5-A model.
Unertl began making target scopes in 1937.

The Info I have shows that Unertl first started selling his 1.25"  Target Scopes in Nov of 1934. His first add for them was in the Nov issue of the Rifleman in 1934.

Didn't Unertl work for Fecker before he started his own business?
