Roger,
Difficult to make out that stamp shown, but on that basis if it was a John Dalglish & Sons of Glasgow, it would have an N92 stamp somewhere wouldn't it. or have I missed the plot?
Is it possible it could read RSM - RED STAR MOUNTAIN REPRODUCTION from Beijing. As we both know he made quite a credible scope many years ago including the brackets. Not sure whether they were stamped!!

I don't think it's a modern repro Gil. Look at the surface of the casting carefully - that's patination. I would not expect to see a N92 on it as it is not a Dalgleish bracket - just more like one than it is like a Rose Brothers variant.
If anything it's closer to one of mine or an Accumounts product, but it isn't exactly the same as those either.....
I have no hard & fast opinion, but the only source of info I have to go on was adamant that these were Dutch. It may be that someone out there in forumland knows precisely their history, but until they pipe up we're left with what we're left with.
............unless of course that logo is M&S & Marks & Spencer's made it!

Much clearer image of the mark in the thread about the previous one Roger https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=36561&page=1

This article says the Dutch made 600 of their no.32 mk3 scopes and shows some clear images of them. Makes sense they would have had brackets made too.
They look like very well made scopes. https://www.smallarmsreview.com/disp...darticles=3708
Anyone ever seen one?

Hi Roy. I'd completely forgotten about that old thread, though my postings relate to the first bracket that I acquired. I saw a Delft made Mk3 scope a couple of years ago at the International Arms Fair. A Dutch dealer pal had it with him. Unfortunately it didn't have a bracket with it & I didn't think to take a photo of it.
I think Alzheimer's is setting in..............now, where's the 'send' key....?!?
