Very early scopes on the Martini and Enfield rifles

[Surpmil]

There are fragmentary references to early telescopic sights in the late Victorian era, and it seems the NRA of GB had some competitions that permitted them, even before the Great War.

This is an example by Alex Henry from I assume the 1880s or 90s.

Has anyone seen another similar or the same, or a rifle with bases for something like this?
