The J. Stevens Arms and Tool Company scope dates to around 1911, according to Stroebel. Certainly pre-1916 as the name was changed to J. Stevens Arms Co. at that time. It's a #141 of around 3.5X. Needs some TLC, but I think I can see good enough through it as is for a little testing. It is for sure a regular .22 Hornet. In the database Petrov kept of Niedner firearms he'd ran across, there was mention of only one regular Hornet, and Michael had a question mark behind that. Found that in some discussion about another cartridge on doublegunshop forum.
