I just scored a Weatherby imperial scope 2.25 x 90. It was made in West Germany with a five digit serial number 31244. Can anybody shed some light on the year this thing was made? Thanks in advance

Sorry... Yesterday was the last and final day for any and all complaints whatsoever.

I have a 4x Imperial on my Southgate 300 Weatherby. They’re cool and nostalgic, but obviously optics have advanced considerably in the last 60 years. These older scopes suffer by comparison with current scopes.
