I really didn't know these were worth this kinda $$.
Currently @ $338.33

Any idea what year this may be?

That is the first serial number I have seen on a M84 that had a "0" for the first digit. Anyone else ever see one before???...

The 0 in front of the serial number usually means its a modern repro. the repro's sell for about 400 for a new one.

originals, depend on condition and range up to about $1100 on a bright sunny perfect warm day on ebay, normally in the 700 range

The few new (reproduction) M84 scopes I have seen all had a 'W' prefix for Wayne Machine Inc, Taiwan. Here is a picture from Sarcos auction site.
