I am in the process of try to restore/rebuild/rescue a Stevens Arms and Tool Co. 450 scope (circa 1906). I got it at a gun show a couple weeks ago and it was in need of serious repair. The steel tube is 29 inches long and has brass tubing lining it. The tube had a bend in it and a couple serious dents. The front lens is missing. It appears the rear lens and crosshairs are okay as they are enclosed in a brass tube about 6 inches long. I have removed the dents and have it just straightened. The original mounts came with it and are okay. Research has indicated these scopes were 4 power.
Does anyone know anything about these scopes? I am not sure I have all the parts for the scope. Is there a schematic available? What lens do I need for the front? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
