    Approximate age of Webley scope>

    I managed to stumble across the Webley scope in the pictures below, As you can see in the photos it's a 4 x 15 scope with mounts fitted. Can any of the more knowledgeable on this forum tell me the approximate age of it. Also did the mounts come with the scope as standard from the manufacturer, or are they an addition from a different manufacturer? Finally what's the approximate value of it?
    Many thanks.

    I have one similar badged as BSA.
    They come with the mounts.
    As for value, I gave £10 for mine just to pair it up with a rifle.

    Can't find mine, but sure the mounts came with the 'scope back in the day. I think the 415 was made from c. '64 to the early '70's.
    Value? Really no idea, mine came as a freebie with a BSA, I think. Like a lot of accessories, & guns, if it came with the box & original packaging, that would attract a premium.
    No doubt someone who knows much more than me will be along.

    Looks like the one thats meant to match my Falcon and thats either 60's or 70's so age is likely right.

    Mid/late 70s to early 80s. The mounts are original to the scope.

    Thanks for your replies, I'll stick on a Haenol rifle I have once it's been serviced.

    I like that 👍🏻

    It looks very similar to a scope and mounts that came on a 1970 HW50 that I bought a few weeks back.

    All of the above.
