Early R. Noske Rifle Scope
Available for sale is a early R. Noske rifle scope. The scope features internal adjustments, blued case, and clear glass. Made by Rudolph Noske in San Carlos, California between 1930-1939, these scopes were very high quality and were the first American made scopes with internal adjustments. According to Nick Stroebel's book, "Old Rifle Scopes", the 1939 fieldscope No.1 Type A cost $52.00. By comparison, a Zeiss Zeiklein (considered one of the best scopes ever made) cost $36.00. All Noskes have 7/8 inch (22mm) tubes & were essentially handmade, hence the disproportionately high price. This scope is in good condition, but does show wear to the bluing and minor pitting. The scope measures 10 1/8" L
