ACCORDING TO HIS FAMILY, THIS ITEM HAD BEEN IN THE FORMER OWNERS COLLECTION FOR MANY DECADES BUT THEY WERE NOT SURE IF WAS A “BRING BACK” ITEM BY THEIR DAD OR BY ANOTHER MARINE UNDER HIS COMMAND. … WE WERE HAPPY TO PURCHASE THIS JAP TYPE 99 MACHINE GUN SCOPE AS PART OF A LARGE GROUPING OF TOP NOTCH MILITARY FIREARMS, A COLLECTION WHICH INCLUDED RIFLES/PISTOLS/SHOTGUNS/MACHINE GUNS, AMMO CACHE AND OF COURSE DD ITEMS (SOME BRING BACKS BY THIS OFFICER, FROM THE PACIFIC) …. A COLLECTION LIKE THIS COULD NEVER BE DUPLICATED TODAY!! …. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW HEAR-SAY STORIES WHICH WE WILL BE HAPPY TO SHARE WITH THE NEW OWNER OF THIS ITEM WHEN WE ARE FREE TO DO SO.
