For sale Liverpool 3 x 9 X

The scope has tapered cross hairs


Nothing wrong with the scope I just don’t care for 42 mm.

A buddy of mine got this for me at an auction a few years ago,he gets excited when it’s my money.

$300 including shipping to the lower 48

Not sure what a Liverpool scope is - I'm guessing that it is an auto-correct botch. Appears the scope has a pre letter designation, which would mean the scope is over 50 years old or possibly a counterfeit. Clarification would be appreciated.

Does he mean Leupold? Like Ray B, I have never heard of a Liverpool scope. Perhaps it is an early project of the well-known partnership Lennon & McCartney from the early 1960s??

You are so hilarious...... I'm sure he means leupold just like the one shown in the pic, but then again I guess you've never had an auto correct issue so by all means throw the first stone.

Ray B threw the first stone-- or rather his autocorrect did. I am merely trying to inject a little sunshine and levity and see if anyone got the connection between Liverpool and the renowned English riflescope company of the early 1960s Lennon and McCartney. No offense meant. I hope none taken.

Talk about opening a can of worms.
I don’t blame you for being skeptical. The scammers are really good.

I called Leopold just a moment ago. They don’t have records on serial numbers without a letter prefix.

He verified the reticle is called a CPC.

He had some catalogs from the early 80s. He was guessing 1984 vintage..

If anybody’s interested, you’re welcome to send me a PM.
We can have a telephone conversation.

I hope a scammer doesn’t send me a message.

Not sure who he at Leupold was, but a 1984 scope would have prefix R, One from 1974 would have Prefix E. A numerical only serial number indicates a scope made prior to 1974. The date range of the scope could best be determined by seeing what the actual model designation is.

Brain fart on my part. It is a Vari x II

 

[Ray B]

Numerical only serialed Vari-x II scopes were made 1969-1973. and had 5 or 6 digit serial numbers. Given that it is a high 6 digit number I'd guess the scope was made in 1973.

Can anyone say-- or think-- too much free time on some people's hands???? Wow-- we're texting and calling over a 60+ yr old scope??? Get a new vortex for the same money it has to be better with a lifetime warrany and no possibility of past problems. I must be missing something.

 

[Hedge774]

Ohhhhhhh man...

 

['68boy]

don't get it Hedge 774. You've not been one to waste time on this stuff. What gives? Hell I'll buy the damn thing if it's a big deal (tho I don't need it!). What's ohhhhhh man????

I guess that happens when you get older. Seems too, anyway
