New M84 scopes have been on Wayne Machine Inc's (Taiwan) product list for over five years.
Its a Repro. All USGI M-84's have a black nameplate with a serial number... Look here, looks like it has no serial number and a blued type of plate. Call them and ask...

Well, just to add some information ------ about 15 years ago Sarco bought a bunch of demilled M84's & parts, including ID plates with & without a SN.

Probably not the scope you are describing, but...
