I have an old rifle scope with no markings-one that I have owned at least...oh...at least 20 years anyway. Don't know why I am just now trying to fid out what it is.
It is a fixed power with an approximately 45mm objective and 38mm eyepiece and 31mm (just over 12") in length with a standard 1" diameter tube. It is a "widescreen" or "TV" screen type scope, but the eyepiece and objective are round NOT oval as the old Redfield Widefield scopes were. Has kind of a standard, run of the mill, cross hair-nothing fancy. It's fixed power, and, for an unknown reason, I've always had it in my head that it was 6x, but I have no way of knowing what it is. There is not a single marking or patent number anywhere on the scope and no way to know for sure the magnification. On the opposite side of the windage adjustment is a depression that likely held a glued-in name brand logo or tag, obviously long since gone.
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: Come to think of it, it could possibly be a 10x scope because I noticed today that looking at a 50 yrd target through the scope, or through my 10x field glasses...image sizes were pretty close. Not a whole lot of difference.
