That's a grandfather of today's Raptors - Aquila II scope, made by IMO Corp. (based in Lawrenceville, NJ)
IMO might not be well known today but they were a major player in the NV industry back in early nineties. They acquired few famous names like Baird (in 1987), Varo (in 1988) or Opto-Electronic Corp (in 1990) but were forced to sell all opto-electronic divisions in 1995 to cover outstanding debt. This pretty gives an idea about the scope's rough production date - must be either late Gen2 or early Gen3. |
