I'm new here and needed help identifying this mono spotting scope I bought.
The only markings are shown in the picture and a number 012541 and it's 7.25" long. Maybe the logo and MN will ring a bell with someone.

Thanks for any info you can offer.

Sodeo,
 
I am sorry but I cannot help you. Interestingly though this scope reminds me of a few I have seen manufactured by Zeiss which are up for auction on the popular auction site. The images aren't identical but they are of the same style. Maybe the folks over on birdforum can help.

Looks like a Russian Baigish copy of the old Zeiss monoscope.

Seems that Bitterroot Bulls hunch was correct (mine too):

Yeah, I knew it was Russian just by the lettering, I guess this confirms it.
