Listed in our local Auction site.
A 130mm Aperture 2000mm f\l MC ??
If so the start price is good
Saxon site shows a 1302 Model, closest I could think it was.
No other info given, I have asked for more and a picture hopefully.

$$$ New ??

I'd be asking for a bit more info. There is plenty of information about the actual Saxon Mak/Cass, they are common enough, and I have seen them in the IceTrades.
This listing though is way too spartan, very little info, and no picture(s).
2 unanswered questions as well.
Ask a question and see.

One of the 2 questions is mine but there has been no reply so far for more info and\or a picture. I was trying to ascertain whether my assumption of size & aperture was right according to the sparse information the seller has given. A 5" (~130mm) at $250 is not bad for a grab and go or astrographic scope. I don't really 'need' anymore scopes but it would complete my collection of one of each just about.
