So my boss wants to buy a meiji scope, and the sales rep from our tool suplier knows very little about them. He has what he thinks is a used one for sale, but I'm not convinced it is. I can't find a maker or model number on it anywhere. It has the GRS stand for sure, but it looks like any scope could be put in it. How do I tell it is not some chinese knock off?
Question: I'm not sure if this scope is a meiji...

i don't have one, but i think the genuine meiji would likely have a logo or name either engraved or somehow etched on the scope body. just my personal thought.

The Meiji scopes GRS sell do have nice, large logo labels on them - see here
Could still be one of theirs without the logo though - click here for the Meiji website so you can browse through their scopes to see if you see the one from your rep.

There are several clones out there... I have run across a couple and they do look alike - but made in China not Japan.

For what its it worth. Meiji is very proud of there products all of the meiji scopes I have seen have a depression on the top side of the scope where the label sits. all of the nock-offs I have seen dont have that depression. plus I dont see any reason why someone would peel the label off they are stuck on very good the label and the label has number stamped into it.
