Description
11/6/26 - For sale is a WWI era U.S. Warner & Swasey Model 1913 Telescopic Musket Sight, the prism scope made for the M1903 Springfield rifle. The body is marked "Telescopic Musket Sight Model of 1913, The Warner & Swasey Co., Cleveland, Ohio U.S.A." with the scope number and patent dates, and the range and wind correction data plate is still attached to the other side. The scope remains on its dovetail mount with the range drum and windage knob, and it comes with a receiver mounting base and three screws. The eyepiece still has its rubber eyecup, though it is damaged and torn. You can still see through the scope and the crosshairs are visible, but the optics are very cloudy with obvious black dots in the sight picture. The black finish is heavily worn, exposing the bronze body underneath, and the steel parts show patina and light surface rust, as shown in the photos. A scarce piece of early American sniping history.
