Early 32 Scope?

[Roger Payne]

The tube looks to me as though it is based on the No32/42/53 series, certainly in the ocular housing & parallel sided part, although the front end assembly looks rather different, as do the drums. The style of engraving on them (drums) makes me wonder too, if the scope could be Canadian, in spite of the lack of a 'C' anywhere in the designation. And it would not be the only 3.5 power experimental scope coming out of Canada. Is the parallel part of the tube 1" in diameter? My hunch is it will be. Will it fit into a conventional No32/No4 (T) scope bracket? It isn't dated, but the general look of it suggests WW2 era to me.

Anybody got any thoughts?
