Only about 1,500 of the 5,750+ purchased scopes were used on rifles, with many also used on M1909 Benet-Mercie machine guns.
Key Details on W&S Scope Identification:
- Models: The 1908 (6x) and 1913 (5.2x) were used.
- Serial Numbers: Scopes are generally numbered in the 1–500 range for Canadian models, while U.S. models have various serials (e.g.#702 found on a 1908 model).
- Markings: Look for "Warner & Swasey Co.", the model year (1908 or 1913), and serial numbers on the mounting bracket, which often matched to the rifle.
- Canadian Usage: 500 M1913 scopes were specifically used on Ross
