Military Mount?

Quite new to this site and like most shooters have collected a great deal of junk. I have an old, single shot .22 retailed by C. Lancaster dating from about 1880. It was originally in .22 short, but chamber errosion resulted in a small sleave being machined in and the rifle being rechambered for .22LR some 10 years ago. This returned accuracy and it fires close on a thousand rounds a year, with cloverleaf groupings at 30m. My eyesight started to give up at the same time and I mounted a small scope on it I had in the back of a drawer- it is German and probably from the 1920's. What I am interested in is the mount. This is marked Anschutz, is one piece and has windage adjustment in it. It is designed for quick removal. I was informed some time ago that the mount had military origins from about the first world war. I find this hard to believe as it is so pristine, but looking closer does have me wondering. Anyone know which forum it would be best to place this question in?

Now that I had a chance to view it, I'll say it IS an interesting mount. Definitely old. Unfortunately, I can't offer any information on it.

Thanks for all efforts by members to remove the link ASAP, it was unintended and a result of using a web site to host the pictures - I will not be using that site again! I do now recall where the mount came from, it was from West Germany sometime in the late seventies. I obtained it from a man who knew less English than I knew German and he sold me three or four mounts and about half a dozen scopes in various states of repair. It worked out at about £50, which was a lot at that time. I seem to remember him saying something about the mouint it coming off an old, obsolete model of Mauser.
