PU scopes was designed in Kharkov #3 NKVD plant (FED) and was manufactured from november of 1940 year at only two plants (#3 Kharkov and #357 Leningrad).
This scope was produced in 1941, the year of the beginning of the war between Germany and the USSR.
Plant NKV No. 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.
