Nickel Marburg Supra Questions

[Dogfish858]

I just picked up a virtually mint condition Nickel Supra Sup-Flex in 2.5. I'd guess 1970's. It is a very, very nice scope. Can't find much information except that new they push euro 1500.

Anybody have any information? Can with the leather cover and everything.

I have a Nickel-Marburg scope in mint condition in 2.5x power. The glass clarity is simply amazing. I wouldn't part with mine unless I was offered a substantial sum of money!
I also have noticed that there's little info on them.

There's actually some info out there if you do a search on Google. Nickel is kind of a boutique manufacturer, they don't have dealers, you can only buy factory direct, which translates into a high Euro exchange rate and duty.
The scope you have is made by a different company than the current line. The current manufacturer bought out two smaller optics companies (Hertel & Reuss and Nickel), and they still manufacture optics under the respective names.
The old ones can be picked up quite reasonably overseas, couple hundred bucks or so.
