    Picked this up at the local flea-market. Although I am loathe to sell it, I will eventually do so, because I want the profit it'll make me, to buy something else for my birthday later this month...fingers crossed.

    I suspect it has lost a thin leather covering from the largest tube that would have been flush with the two bands. Makers details if any are usually on the smallest draw tube near the eyepiece.

    No details. I would've mentioned them otherwise. You know how thorough I am with this stuff.
