Unknown Scope

I just bought a approx. 4x external adjustment scope today. The ONLY marking on it are on the mount. It's about 15 1/2" long and the objective lense is inset about 1 1/2" from the front of the brass tube. The turrets are on the front of the tube. The Mossberg #6 mount is made to fit in a dovetail with 1/32" graduations for vertical adjustment plus the vertical on the scope turrets. The top picture shows what looks like a parralax and a focus adjustment but, I don't know, I haven't messed with them yet. It looks like a quality scope, can anyone help me with who the maker is?

Those little side plates are on a few period scopes like Marlin, & Wollensak to name two...
should go great on a 22 rifle...

It looks like you are missing the mount that hooks to the gun.It would bolt to the receiver and than would slide up and down for elevation. My friend brought over the same set up the over night and it fit the factory mounting hole on my Mossberg 42M-B military 22 bolt action trainer. It really looked like a cool set up. His scope was also marked mossberg on it. TommyAuger

I picked up a mount like this a while back. Been trying to figure a way to use it for something, like maybe a side mount for a TD (I wonder why??
). Any more info would be great.

Dick,
This is what I've learned about them......
I did some research after posting for info. It's a Mossburg #6 scope and mount. It's 4x. Montgomory-Wards has the same mount and scope and call it a #10. They were made form '35 until '40.
I found mine at a local flea market. Another variant is the Mossberg 7C8 that has standard type scope block mounts. You can change the eye piece for 8x.
Here is the site that tells about them.

Hey Frank, thank you, thank you, thank you. I really do appreciate it. If not the TD, maybe a little Belgian drop-block .22 that I got from Whitey. ANYTHING more from you or anybody is welcome.. Great stuff guys.

We had a gun show last weekend and I bought Gerald Kevler's book, Reloading tools, Sights and Telescopes for Single Shots. On page 52 he discusses the Mossberg scopes.
I had no idea that O. F. Mossberg worked for Iver Johnson, Stevens and Marlin before starting his own company.

Is Kevler's book currently in production? Not sure if I am familiar with it.

Slumlord,
My book was new but, it's the 3rd printing in '98. It was the only one the book dealer had and I didn't ask if it was still in print.
I'll ask, next gun show that I find him at. It may be a few months away though.

It's been a while, but I did go ahead and mount one of these bases on my .22 Meyers-Coune. I modified it a little, but it works good. Might give some ideas.
