    Well! You certainly have my attention!

    I have been searching for a decent photograph of one of these for a long time. I have had a pic sent to me before, but the eyecup wasn't in anywhere near that condition. Tell me, do you have the eyecup or only a pic?

    God Day,
    Now the $64K question, what are the chances of having some made? From the many posts here and on other forums, the proper eyepiece cover is missing on 99% of the scopes. Here is a good opportunity to sell a quality repo one to the community if a solid pattern can be found.
    Any chance that one might be on the horizon?

    I should have come back and edited that statement, mate! I went digging through my pics and found yours- I had forgotten about it, sorry!

    Now all we need to find is someone with the resources to make these things...
