    Description

    RARE ORIGINAL WORLD WAR TWO JAPANESE 2.5 POWER SCOPE FOR TYPE 99 ARISAKA SNIPER RIFLE WITH CASE.  This is a rare 2.5 power scope that was specifically issued for the Type 99 sniper rifle when they ran low of 4 power scopes during production.  About half way through production of the Type 99 sniper rifle they ran out of 4 power scopes, roughly in the 5,000-7,200 serial number range.  To fill this void they issued 2,200 scopes in 2.5 power from the production run of the earlier Type 97 sniper rifle.  These scopes were marked with "99" before the serial number designating them as part of the 2,200 issued for the Type 99.
    This scope is marked "2.5 X 10 NTC KOGAKU 99 NO.1170".  The serial number to the rifle it was issued to is 6805 - the 8 in the serial number is stamped shallow but you can make out the top of the 8.  The overall condition of the scope is very good showing some signs of wear & age to the finish, there is an area of oxidation to the knurled collar around the eyepiece, - see photos.  The optics are clear with some minor dirt/dust particles caught in the lens.  The attach and release lever on the side is in working order.  The original rubber eyecup did not stand the test of time and is no longer present as is the case with most of these scopes.
    The carrying case is in likewise very good solid condition showing some light age & wear.  The case is marked, the leather closure tab is intact, and both carry straps are present of the reverse.  There are remnants of a paper tag that is still wired to the back of the case. The inside of the case still has the cleaning brush secured in its leather retaining loop.
    Overall a fantastic example of this rare scope for the Japanese Type 99 Arisaka sniper rifle!
