As you can see most of the M1908 scopes were mounted on M1903s in the 352.XXX to 353.XXX serial range. However, also some of them were mounted on 409.XXX rifles.
Which scope had been on 454.477 - I don't have a clue, but maybe already the first prototype for the M1913 scope. Maybe also worth mentioning: serial 603.357 and 977.303 are dated 1920, maybe an afterwar-evaluation of these rifles?
For what I know the M1913 scopes can usually be found in the 625.XXX to 633.XXX and 920.XXX to 940.XXX serial range. At least this is what I have seen from the serials that were originally etched into the scope arm.
If anyone has a W&S scope at home, doesn't matter if it's serialized to a rifle or not, please send information upon the serial and if existing the rifle's serial to me. Currently trying to make a list and would love to find as much as possible.
Oh yes, and I have the disassembled M1913 scope in front of me. But haven't had the time for pictures, sorry!
