Indeed. Let this stand as an example of what NOT to do with a battlefied relic.
Since the money probably means more to most people than the historical value, in monetary terms, an "as dug" M1913 scope with a US WWI battlefield attribution might sell for twice this price on the right day.
Now it is nothing but a parts-car and one can see that someone has already scavenged from it parts such as the range-estimating scale and screws. Or perhaps those were just lost in the process of "restoration"?![]()
