Need help identifying antique scope
I am finally getting around to identifying an antique scope I bought several years ago. Any assistance will be appreciated? Are there any web site that specialize in antique scopes? --Regards

I should have added that the scope is brass and 18.25" long. The only markings are the parallax scale and X-8.

Looks something like a Winchester A5 (5 Power) Offset Scope...
Here's one mounted on a:

Any idea of the value? I want to have a scope option for my reproduction 1871 Buffalo rifle, but if this is valuable, I'd rather use a reproduction scope. --TIA

I think it's a .22 scope. If the front is a clamping type ring, the scope probably won't survive much recoil. I'm thinking Stevens scope, but don't hold me to that. The mounts are distinctive enough for identification, but I go to a friend for this sort of thing and may not see him for several days.

You could ask Nick Stroebel. I can't see anything like it in his book. Would agree that it must be for a .22, and in appearance I would say 1930s or 40s.
