James (bightonknioght):

On your ALASKAN marked military scope with tapered post reticle, would you please carefully check:

1. The serial number on the tube, in tiny numbers just after the word ALASKAN. You describe it as 5435 but I suspect that it is 3435 based upon your photo.

2. You did not show any engraved markings on the side of the tube. Does it actually say M82 on this one?

3.Is there a stock number 83374 or possibly 84373 engraved on the side of the tube below an army serial number?

Thank you.
