Pre-WW1 Westley Richards 1" scope and mounts

i have a Westley richards 1' scope numbered 63744; it is similar to early German scopes, but there is no maker's name. it seems to be about 3 power, with a coarse cross hair reticle. The focus and elevator work fine.

The scope mounts are unusual; both have a dovetail below the scope ring with an adjusting screw on a flat bar. I don't see how the bar would be attached to the bridge

I've done my best to post images but failed; if someone will email me I will send the images for posting. My email is dt5745@telus.net

I bought this scope because i thought i could adapt it for an early Rigby Mauser in 7x57 but it is sold, and i will offer it for sale. any ideas of value will be appreciated

thanks

don
