Quote:
“”Factory #357 NKV (Leningrad/Omsk) scopes.

This factory (previously named “Progress”) was the primary manufacturer of PU scopes in 1940-1945. Production of scopes started in the Autumn of 1940. In July-August 1941 the factory was evacuated to Omsk. The first scopes produced at the new location were assembled in September. All scopes produced in 1940-1941 and those 1942 scopes that do not have an “A” letter prefix in serial number (as 1940-1941 specimens) were designed for use with the SVT-40. Starting in October 1942, all scopes made by this factory were made for the M91/30

In 1943 the factory changed the design of the scope tube – the narrow area in rear part was eliminated, the factory logo and serial number were moved to the rear part of the tube

In addition to the changes in the placement and type of the factory logo and the serial number, in 1943, the style of numbering was changed – the “B” letter serial number prefix appeared instead of the “A” prefix. The majority of the“B” prefix scopes are 1944 production, however, serial numbers that are less than “B-30000” (approximately) are 1943 production. At the end of 1944, the factory began to engrave production years. These scopes are very rare. Production was stopped at the end of January 1945, a small number of scopes were assembled from leftover parts over the next few months.

Factory #357 NKV created many experimental scopes. Shown below is an example of a scope with a tube made using a Silicon-Aluminum alloy. The objective lens assembly has a different construction – the lenses are not sealed and can be removed during disassembly. Only a few scopes of this type are known, judging from the serial numbers (it seems that they have separate numbering), only about a 1000+ of them were produced. Trial scopes were also created without windage and distance adjustments, the usual post reticle was replaced with a range finding reticle. “”
