PPCo scope with matching numbers pouch

[Promo]

I recently have had the chance to purchase a near immaculate PPCo scope on the PPCo dovetail mount, complete with the matching numbers scope pouch, which had been a WWI trophy of a German soldier. Aside of very superficial rust pittings where the original scope leather covers respectively the band that connects the two covers had been touching the metal of the scope there are practically zero signs of wear.


Not sure whether this one qualifies as an early or a late PPCo scope, and if the 7 on the front of the mount is a pairing number to the base, but maybe someone can educate me on them?
