    E R Watts rifle scope photos wanted.

    I have searched the web and am unable to find good E R Watts scope images or much about them in general. Is there anyone that has some that they would share to this forum? Thanks

    And that's probably 25% of those in existence!
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    ER Watts WW1 era scopes.

    I finally got round to getting a few photo's of what I have. One of the scopes (The one fitted by Rigby) does not bear the ER Watts engraving on the ocular housing, but it is well polished, so might have been there originally. The other possibility being that Watts omitted their markings in some sort of arrangement with Rigby. Speaking from memory to the OP in a PM I mentioned that I believed there was no major difference in any of the objective housings in scopes that I had seen - though there clearly is.

    Anyway, for the OP & anyone else interested, there you have it. Assuming the unmarked scope is indeed a Watts, there are four there in total.
