Vintage Swift Model 821 Spotting Scope 15 - 60 X 60 Mm With Tripod
Item History & Price
Vintage Swift Model 821 Spotting Scope (15-60 x 60 mm) with Tripod in original Packaging. Listing as "used" though I am unsure how much actual use this scope actually had. This Telescope was discovered deep in the back of Grandpa's closet years after he passed. He was a retired Colonel in the Army Air Force and had many high quality hunting and shooting accessories purchased over his lifetime. However, he had a hip replacement some years after the Korean War. After his hip replace...ment sometime in the 1960's, he was no longer able to go hunting and rarely went to the shooting range. There is a date under the optics holder in the box that says Bullseye 3-3-3/20/64. So I'm fairly certain this Scope was manufactured in Japan prior to that date. I'm also fairly certain this scope saw little use over it's lifetime. It is in great condition I don't see any scratches or marks on the exterior of the scope.The only issues are very minor in my estimate. The box does show signs of wear and a couple of the plastic eyepiece covers are cracked. The cracked plastic covers do not effect the use of the eyepieces in any way. The covers only help to protect the glass lenses and all five of the lenses are in great shape. The lenses included are 15, 20, 30, 40, 60x ocular lenses and a 60mm objective lens.
