Have no idea of the age but the letters BTe S G D G seem to appear on French products
Here is a French gun with the same markings.

And if it's worth anything like that gun i'll give you a tenner for it
I have recently aquired a scope and was wondering if anyone could identify it. I am interested in it's age really as I would like to fit it to a contemporary rifle. It is all steel construction and is blued. It has BTe S G D G stamped or engraved on it just in front of the rear mount, this is the only marking on it. I would say, but I'm no expert, that is is 2 X magnification.
I Have some pic's but don't know how to attach them to this thread.
Cheers
John.

Since those letters appear on everything from clocks to corkscrews to dolls, my guess'd be they stand for something like "Ltd." , the rest maybe having worn off? Pity, if so.
