Obviously it is a sighting telescope but what does it fit?
13 7/16" long and 1 1/2"outside diameter to the tube.
The lens are good and clear and a good clean-up is in line of it.
If you have any idea, please let us all know.

Rick..
What you have there is a snipers spotting scope..
If you want to see one in use watch "Enemy At The Gates"..the Russian sniper is using one to poke through a hole in the rubble to look for the Nazi sniper without exposing his head..
Very rare..
Nice find..
Here is a more modern one at a 45 Degree angle...
