Opticron are a U.K. company that make mainly spotting scopes. You
can get the D24 on ebay for about £35. Just google Opticron D24 to go
to their website.

That’s about as antique as an Esprit 120

Looks copper and brass...probably even made in India with Chinese optics then branded in the UK

It appears that the D24 has been discontinued, but you can find one on ebay,
with the seller showing its specifications, a huge 24mm objective.

Shame, I know it isn't old but looks nice for a sideboard but it may have just cost £30 new
