Thumbs up 10" F6 Excelsior Mirror

Excelsior had a reputation as one of the top mirror makers in the US, before closing their doors some years ago. I managed to get a 10" F6 mirror which had primarily been used for planetary work.

There are no figures available for this mirror but there are a few things I know about it.

Focal ratio: F6
Mirror substrate: Pyrex
Coatings: Spectrum

I have centre spotted the mirror (crudely, but effective)
There is a 1/4" band of adhesive black flocking placed around the edge of the mirror by the previous owner to reduce the effects of a very slightly down-turned edge.
The mirror is dusty but can obviously be cleaned
The coatings are in good condition

I paid US$500 for it, yours for AU$325 or best offer

Check out this URL for pricing
