    Would you happen to know the dates when the P-H scopes were produced, and whether or not they were make by an outside firm, but labeled and sold by P-H ?

   My connection is a bit slow this A.M. , so I'm yet to see the images !  I'll try again later.

   What is unique about the P-H adjustment arrangement ?

I was told by an English friend long ago they were Feckers the the following confirms what he told me.

To close, in order not to offend or mislead any North American readers, we should mention that we are aware that these scopes were manufactured by Fecker of Cleveland and imported by Parker-Hale for sale in Great Britain under their own name. A considerable recommendation we would have thought.

Cheers,

    I did receive the pictures today, and yes, the scope is unique as you say.

    Do you have any idea as to when the P-H firm had these style scopes available to their customers ?

Guys

I have an  original catalogue  advertising this scope from 1933 with testimonials of the Targetscope sight in 9x from late 1932. This does not appear in the 1947 catalogue.  The text states that the Fecker was the basis of the design but with improvements. Trust this is of some interest.

In my 50 years of collecting single shots and target scopes, this set of early Parker-Hale rings are the closest I've gotten to one their scopes.
