After WWII these scopes remained in USMC inventory and again were used very successfully throughout Korea and again in Vietnam from 1962-68 when mounted on match conditioned Winchester Model 70 target rifles. They were very effective in the early stages of the war, however their higher magnification became a hindrance in the close fighting in the jungles. These rifles were used in early 1942-43 during the initial invasions of many of the Japanese held islands. These Unertl scopes were developed and manufactured by John Unertl in 1940/41 under contract for the USMC and were originally intended to be mounted on Springfield Armory M1903 National Match rifles as modified by USMC/Navy armorers.
This is an excellent example of a WWII USMC issue Unertl Sniper Scope and scope can.
