Went ahead and bought the Telescopic scope. It is marked M71D, Stock No. 7578296 and Serial # 1895. Also has TK10 on the side in yellow paint. Any idea on age or value. I paid 100.00 for it and I hope it wasn't to much(any idea as far as value?). Seems to work fine and the lenses seem pretty good. I think it is off of a tank.
Danyel Phelps knows the answer to youre question Ted, I qoute: "Yes, it is indeed from a tank. The vehicle this particular optic is from is the M4 76( w ) line of tanks." Welcome to the forum Ted! P.S.: It would be very nice if you could post a picture of you with the scope, It would help Phelps alot in his research, and I would like to see the scope myself.
