James T. Coppock ceased trading in the early 1980s and Antoria guitar production ceased then, only to be resurrected later. 43 ¼ cm open and 16 cm closed and in very good order. The lenses are clear and unmarked, as is the pigskin covering. The brass has marks through use as shown in the images. This scope and maker warrant further investigation. The price includes UK delivery. OPT 853. £175.00 |
