I have a very nice fecker - probably a 1.75" give or take 0.25" that is in mint condition with the wooden case.  It came with two eye pieces and like all feckers, no mention of magnification anywhere.  The eye pieces are externally different and the smaller one has a much shorter eye relief and greater magnification than the larger one.  They came with what appear to be the original aluminum, knurled eyecaps found on late model Feckers.

My intent is to use this scope on my "new" Borchardt.   - the low power for offhand and the highpower version for bench work.  Tomorrow will be the first test of this plan.

Anyway, does anyone know of Feckers being offered with dual eye pieces or was this a custom order?   

Any way to "letter" a fecker scope like one can a Winchester rifle?

Last, the crosswires seem a bit course and I'm wondering if anyone knows where to get very thin wire material.  I'm tempted to try replacing them on my own.  They are very accessible right under the eye piece.

Any information would be helpful but I do have Strobel's book and will have to review it again tonight.

Ever tried nylon stocking thread?   

When I used to live in the South, I could always find good black widow silk (not that I needed it then).  They exist in Iowa but I have never seen one here, so not so easy.  Anyway, I have heard that both of these materials make very good crosswires.

Brent - a friend of mine has a Fecker and it has two eye pieces the one is a doubler ( it dbls what ever the power of the other one is ) you are right - no mention of magnification on the scope its self.  All I would have to say is if they didn't come standard that way it seems several people bought them that way - and just because you may find a Fecker out there today with only one eye piece doesn't mean that it didn't originally come with two and the other one has become misplaced over time.  You have a good day now - the rimfire - cdpersons

Rimfire, 
I just spoke with Parson's about this scope.  He thinks it might be a pretty late model although it does have  5xxx serial number which I think is not particularly high.  He thinks it came with the two lens, but it is not obvious how the second eye piece could be a doubler.  It goes on instead of the original eye piece so it makes whatever magnfication it makes, independent of the other eye piece.  

Phoenix, too bad about the snake wood.  I'll find some somewhere.  I just polished up some really beautiful desert ironwood burl inlays for my Borchardt (which incidentally goes with this scope).  Oh and it seems like it wants to shoot  Getting groups in the 0.6-0.75" range at 100 yds with black powder but an occasional flier I can't figure out.  

Any chance you happen to have a spool of blackwidow spider silk?  Probably right there between the jars of Newt eyes and hummingbird tongues.

I also have a Fecker with an extra eye piece. It is a2X to double the power of the scope. It also changes the clearence from your eye to the scope. I just keep in the box

Well, with some tepidation, I pulled the old, perfectly fine, but thick wires out of the Fecker yesterday and with a few trials installed pantyhose nylon.   

The first one went in easy and I thought I might be a savant at this.  But it looked a little thick and when I put up the eye piece it was no better than what I'd had before.   

And then I finally realized that I had about 15 strands of nylon, not one.  Tightly wound on each other, they were hard to see, but with a lot of experimentation, I finally got single strands and got them installed.   

They look great, and although it's a bit frustrating at times, it sure beats $65 plus shipping and 3 months to get them fixed professionally.   

Brent

Yeah, you should have seen me incognito in Wally World buying the stuff.  Thank god for self-serve check outs.
