Hi all, I am a new member from the UK.

I am helping an old gentleman to organize his stuff as he is moving to a new home. I found this scope among some of his old stuff that he is considering throwing away.

I have done a bit of research, I believe it is an Argentine Nedinsco scope. But I am not sure if it is for M1909 as the mount base is different.

Can anyone share some insight on it? I am just curious about the background history of it as it is a nice scope and seems is a shame if he just chuck it away.

Thank you for all your assistance.

I don't have any specific history on it, but if it is getting thrown away, I would like to have it instead. It looks to be from the 1920's to 1950's

I would post this in the vintage sniper rifles sub-forum. Lots of knowledge there
