Inverted German #1 scope reticle

[Bruce Drake]

Folks,

Anyone ever see an upside down German #1 reticle on a rifle scope?

I picked one up on an Ebay auction a few months back (Monoscope brand 2.5x by 40mm) that was advertised as a post reticle but when it arrived, when the scope is mounted with the elevation dial on top of the scope, the reticle is inverted. I'm attaching an image of what the reticle appears as when its mounted. I've currently have plans for it to go on my Win 94 in .32 Winchester Special since its an almost perfect brush gun scope.

Wow That is pretty strange but on second thought I have a 5 Inch heavy duty compass That has East and West reversed!... It was made in Germany about WW2 era

Probably why the lost!

works out nicely if you don't want your targeted animal blotted out by a heavy post in dim light.

Nope, it come in front the right. You are holding it wrong.

Check to see if it is an overhead cockpit compass.

The early US sniper scopes had this type of reticle. You zeroed on the point at 100 and you could hold over for longer ranges and not have to post obstruct the view.

The TRILUX SUIT scope for the fal had them to.

Rick I bet you are correct! my FIL worked on B-29's & he is the one that gave it to me! He has long passed but I always wondered it that could be it!

Im betting reticule is rotated...

I lile these too and have a couple. My 450 Ruger bolt just got a M8 3x Leupold with one.

Post reticle in the M84 scope for the M1-D rifle was that way, at least mine was.

Trijicon uses a lighted post reticle on their conventional rifle scopes......at least the two I have do. There're not inverted but I haven't noticed them interfering with target acquisition.
