Just bought this 24X Fecker--acutually, I bought a Remingonton ex military use 513T just to get the scope.  It IS marked 24X near the ring on the ocular.
Mechanically and glass are perfect, but some surface pitting on the bell at the top.  Serial # shows in the photo's.  It is the 1 3/4" so it is a Fecker Champion I believe judging by Stroebel's book.
Can anyone tell me if this is the standard ocular or a power boost ocular?

Longest Fecker I've seen.

Surprised that your 24X has a 1-3/4" objective--largest listed in late production catalogs is 1-5/8".

During Fecker's lifetime, a customer could have built almost any kind of custom scope he's was willing to pay for, but not those built by Fecker, Inc. (Yours looks like later production, but maybe not).

Sorry, I mis-stated, it is a 1 5/8" objective--OD of the tube is 1 3/4". Ser. # 9955.  Any idea when it was made or who would know?

Nobody "knows" because Fecker's records suffered the same fate as those of Stevens & other companies that were reorganized or bought out by larger corps.--that "useless" old paper went to the dump or the furnace.  Every scope produced while Fecker was alive left the factory with a DATED card on which was recorded the ser. no. & exact focusing adjustments for several different ranges.  (Because the adjustments wouldn't be the same even for identical scopes.)

I've seen a few of those cards & recorded the date & corresponding ser. no.  No. 10,393 was reached sometime in 1950, so you can make your own guess about #9950; probably the same year or the year before.
