I made an attempt but, I'm not sure how to add pics. One scope enthusiast told me that in 1944 was when the Army started with the Commercial All-Weather, standard crosshair, Lyman Alaskan scope. Referred to as Telescope M-73. After my description of it to him, said it may be a "transitional" scope, before the actual M73 stamping. Showed him a pic of the ocular bell being stamped 7634670, he said it may have been robbed from an actual sniper scope. However, even though all the M73, M81 and M82's have that number too, they are stamped on the smaller diameter part of the bell, not the large end as this one is. That's why I'm wondering if this set-up with the Model 1932 Griffin & Howe mount is one of the first used by the Army back in 44'.
