Telescope identity!

Hi folks

Can anyone please help me identify the brand of this 'scope. As you can see in the pic, it's a 102 mm, f/5 refractor, but with no manufacturers' ID - not that I can see, anyway.

Cheers
John

Hi John
Looks the same as a Chinese scope I had a while back that was branded Saxon but they probably come out under all sorts of brands ie Celestron.

Agreed, I think it is a Synta scope (often sold relabeled as Saxon, Celestron and many other names). The objective cell and focuser have the same look as the Synta scopes I've owned in the past as does the black paint.
