Attached the detail picture of the front ring showing that there are scratches and no silver solder!

I'm currently not sure if Rigby really used the PPCo scope, or if he had used the German scope which served as pattern for the PPCo scope. Note the military pattern PPCo scopes all had an enlarged brass housing at the front (doesn't matter if longer or shorter cone ocular housing), which would not work with the scope mount as on my rifle (plus the drawing shows it differently).

So it is my guess that Rigby had used the same scope he was using on his civilian sporting guns since the shape is exactly identical to the one on the drawing, compare it yourself:
