Can anyone help me identify a rifle scope that I have owned for a number of years?  This scope is odd in several ways.  To begin with, there is no identifying marks on the scope, maker, brand, country of origin, etc...nothing.  Secondly,  the adjustment of the scope requires externally adjusting rings or mounts...no turrets, AO, etc.  Thirdly, the scope has a three post reticle, possibly indicating European origin, yet the body of the scope is 1",  not metric.  The scope had a ring located on the center of the body, between where the rings would attach, and is marked 2.5, 3, 4, etc. to 10.  The objective lense is a bit over 1.5", and the scope is slightly over 13" long.  The body is of anodized aluminum(Blue/black), and the overall quality of the scope, including optics, is good.  I have a pic of the scope, but do not know how to add it to this message.  Thanks

There are several "older" German/European brands that made scope tubes 1" and 26mm. There is a misconception that euro scopes were majority 30mm. try to post pics or email them to someone who can. I would like to see this one myself.
