This scope was produced in 1941, the year of the beginning of the war between Germany and the USSR. 357 "Progress" was located in Leningrad and after the start of the war, in 1941 it was evacuated to the Urals in Omsk, as Leningrad was surrounded by German troops and was under siege for 3 years. Therefore, based on the scope number, we can say that the scope was produced in the last days before the evacuation from Leningrad. The scope has a repair mark "ROL" (this means that the optical lens was repaired / replaced, since there is no mark indicating the year of repair, repairs were carried out during the war from 1941 to 1945).
