I don't know the answer and that is why I asked if I was wrong. Your sarcastic answer did nothing to clear things up btw..

I am simply stating that the only time I have seen the phrase "Period scope" used in my lifetime of hunting and collecting guns is if the gun was a collector and the scope,mounts being of the same time period as the gun would then add to the guns value, otherwise it has no bearing that I know of..

I ment no insult what so ever and if you take it as such then I apoligize to you.
