<p>[QUOTE="AuDragon, post: 423470, member: 6974"]I have seen a lot of fake technical instruments too, sextants, telescopes, compasses etc. so there is a great need to be cautious. However, the degree of wear and the build-up of scratches, marks etc around the Dedication script on this one doesn't look manufactured to me. The whole scope looks genuine to me, but I am no expert. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
