Kowa TSN-821A Spotting Scope, 82mm Objective Lens, 27X LER Eypiece
I bought this scope at an estate sale. I know nothing about optics, but I recognized that a Kowa scope was high-quality, valuable, and gently used. The former owner was a marksman, but I couldn't get any more information than that.

The optics appear to be in great shape. However, there is an issue: the paint on the scope body has worn away in spots (see 9th and 10th photos--the worn-away areas show up as black smudges).

My theory is that the former owner got gun grease on the body and either he or someone else tried to use a de-greaser to clean it, but the degreaser loosened the paint. I made the situation worse because I thought I'd clean the scope body of any residue by using a detergent on it, but I only made matters uglier. THAT SAID, THIS PROBLEM IS LITERALLY COSMETIC AND IN NO WAY INTERFERES WITH OR DIMINISHES THE OPTICAL PERFORMANCE OF THE SCOPE.

Please contact me if you have any questions, and I will do my best to answer them.
