    A very interesting addition to our knowledge base Maxman, thank you. Looks like it adorned someone's hunting rifle for many a year after the war ended and interest was lost in tropicalized scopes. No doubt you've received offers from certain members already!?

    So 24 minutes of windage adjustment and what to the range markings go up to please?

    From the dirt in the screw slots it seems to have held zero pretty well.

    Rather like the No.32 with the slipping scale mods that turned up a few years ago. Never say never.

    Of course what was really needed was a fulled sealed and zeroed scope with no external adjustments as was used on the Arisakaicon. Simple enough to put the range markings up to 1300m on the reticule itself. Much quicker and easier to use as well. I believe the latest ELCANs incorporate such a reticule.

    Another example of R.E.L. "getting on with it".

    I happened to see for sale a set of "rabbit ear binoculars" made by them recently; something I had never seen any mention of before as one of their products.

    Much changes, much remains the same.
