Late War CAD scope

[Southwest]

I bought a CAD scope with the alloy sunshade with 2 drain holes and a 1-8 meter dial.The reticule is a standard cross hair. The serial # is 46764. The scope looks new. I can't see any evidence of any type of rings that may have been soldered on the tube. It functions well. It does not have any grease marking that I can see. It was sold as being refinished and the reticule changed.

There is a small plate on the bottom where the larger screw is attached. The 4 edges are finished and it is soldered to the scope tube. Looks like it belongs there.

It is a fairly late scope and after doing some investigation,I think the reticule it has could be original.

Thanks for letting me know that. My expertise is limited. I have an extra 3 post Kahles reticule I can put in and an extra set of Roberts HT mounts. It will make
a good scope and mounts for a repro HT for somebody.

There are Cad Scopes in the 46XXX Serial Range that were Originally Produced with Cross Hair Reticules . This subject has been discussed in the past here . Best Regards

Crosshair Reticule

I have a cross hair reticule on my matching High Turret. CAD Scope serial is 46XXX. All original and not messed with.

I remember that. So the reticule might be as issued and should thus not be changed. However, we will never know.

I will leave it the way it is.

I agree. Since it may be original, why risk a change? I have seen so many things made correct over the years and only to discover they were original before somebody "fixed" them.
