I just bought a KOWA 4x rilfe scope. It does not a permantly centered reticale so I think it was probably made in the late 50's. Still like new in the box with paperwork. I love these old scopes and have quite a few. The glass is perfect. It is before the prominar or at least it is not indicated on the scope. Were the prominar and non prominar made at the same time or is an evolution in design. I have been told that the prominars are made out of pure floride. Is this true?
So far I have:
4x Prominare with import tags 1957
8x AO Prominar with import tags 1958
4x Kowa with post reticle
4x NOS Kowa with fine cross hair
