Japanese Sniper Scope for Model 99 Rifle

I already sold the rifle in U.S.
The rifle itself was made in 1944,one of late style of M-99 rifles but the scope was matched.
It was very accurate. The scope is 4 powers by 7 degrees.
There were no adjustement functions outside the scope. When the set of a sniper and a scope was delivered to the hands of a sniper, they had been already adjusted.

Mr. Glen Deluter at Sarco in N.J. was an authority of Japanese sniper rifles and scopes.
He made his own tools to adjust the scopes to rifles.

Most of the set of Japanese snipers and scopes were not matched.
I think the reason was when Japanese surrendered, they handled rifles and scopes separatly.
U.S. veterans took a rifle from a pile of rifles and a scope from a pile of scopes without knowing
that a scope was difficult to adjust to a rifle.
Glen was killed by an accident at a shooting range several years ago. It was a pity.
