The Japanese soldier of WW2 was a resourceful, resilient fighter, loyal to his Emperor and willing to undergo tremendous hardships. He would, as John Wayne once said, \"just as soon die as stick a nickel in a jukebox\". Japanese snipers used the specially designed 2.5 X 10° scope with their Nagoya Arsenal Type 97 Arisaka sniper rifles for pinpoint marksmanship against American soldiers and Marines in the Pacific. IJA snipers targeted US officers, and did not observe the rules set down by the Geneva Convention, meaning medics, chaplains, and other non-combatants were all fair game. This Imperial Japanese WW2 2.5 X 10° NAGOYA TYPE 97 ARISAKA SNIPER RIFLE SCOPE is in very good condition, with some scattered patina along the left side, the rubber eye cup having been completely removed long ago, some light scattered patina along the right side, and with some light overall age wear evident (ALL pictured). Otherwise, the scope is in fine shape, with absolutely no cracking or other damage to the tough darkened metal construction. Most interestingly, it boasts incredibly crisp and clear optics with a sharp reticle that\'s graduated 2-14 (200-1400 meters) for elevation with 20 degrees of deflection, left and right. The scope carries the corresponding rifle number \"12189\" stamped at the left side, and is marked \"2.5 X 10°\" at the top front end, along with its maker, the famous \"NIKKO\", and its own serial number, \"18466\". It sports all of the original knobs and screws, and is complete with the original Imperial Japanese WW2 Rubberized Canvas Carry Case in good condition, with the scope\'s eye cup remaining permanently lodged at the interior bottom, a deep surface crack to the middle front closure strap,some tearing and denting at bottom, the shoulder strap having been cut away long ago, some patina to the metal rivets throughout, and with some overall age wear evident (most pictured). Otherwise, the case is in fine shape, with no other damage.
