In the foreground is a Nine pocket Mounted Cavalry ammunition belt.

The 1917 S&W on the belt above it is in a modern made right hand holster. Should be on the other end of the belt.

What are the two little studs for on this mount?
Also, could anyone please tell me what type of rings will fit this mount?

Thanks!

I assume stopping pins? Isn't the top a dovetailed mount which would fit the Winchester A5 rings?

Which period should this mount had been made in?

[Fred]

I believe a Winchester A5 scope would be traditional with this mount. Maybe also a Lyman 5A. Both 3/4" scopes.
the dovetail is 1/2" across at the top and 1/4" at the bottom.
I'd like to find a set of rings that would fit. I believe a set of Parker Hale rings will work.

Belding and Mull

The studs are stops for the scope rings.

Belding & Mull has several different scopes and scope mounts listed in their 1937 catalog. They also list a really neat bolt sleeve sight, cocking piece sight and an emergency sight for when the scope fails.

The top picture is the most popular of B&M's scope mounts. It replaces the movable base on the 03.

The bottom picture is one my favorite sights - the emergency sight. It slides on the rear scope block after the scope has been pitched into a deep snow bank.

LF & C -
They made all kinds of things. Including the knives, fork, and spoons that G.I.'s ate their rations with.

I found the rusty knife at an old mine dump in AZ
The mine dates back to the 30's
