Description

This lot features two vintage telescopic sights designed for firearm use. The first is a Bushnell Magnum Phantom 1.3X scope, a model historically recognized for its long eye relief, making it suitable for handguns or carbine mounting. It is constructed with a glossy black metal finish and features an integrated rail mount. Markings include BUSHNELL MAGNUM PHANTOM 1.3X on the main tube and the stylized B logo with BUSHNELL PHANTOM on the turret caps. Internally, it is equipped with a duplex reticle. The second item is a 2.5X magnification scope of Chinese manufacture. It is marked MADE IN CHINA with serial number 1024145 and X 2.5 near the eyepiece. This scope features a traditional simple crosshair reticle and a black metal body. Both items represent mid-to-late 20th-century sporting optics.
