Yes Kurt, I think that should do it for the poster! I don’t have the first brochure and I thank you for that too. I will copy it and put one in each of my Fecker scope boxes.

Thanks Kurt!
I saved all three to print out for my Fecker scopes.

For you Fecker owners, how about an excellent article titled, The Life and Times of J. W. Fecker.  Click on the attachment link below.

I've been a fan of JW Fecker scopes since my first real target scope purchase of a used Fecker 10x about 40 years ago. It was $175 then at a gun show, and in perfect condition. I own other Lyman and Unertl scopes, but Feckers are still my favorites.
My most prized Fecker is an 8x Fecker Cleveland scope #625. It has click mounts which like all early Feckers aren't his make. Not nearly as refined as the Fecker made mounts on my later Fecker scopes, but the scope and mounts are both like new. It came on a Ballard schuetzen rifle with a Stevens-Pope barrel when I bought it about 6 years ago at a CGCA gun show.

I have a Parker Hale scope.  It was actually made by Fecker, then Parker Hale put their own mounts on it. I have Fecker, Lyman, & Unertl scopes. I also own a Litschert, A Davis, a Winchester 5A & Lyman A5. I think Feckers have very nice lens. I seem to like Unertl the best. I am old enough to have purchased Unertls new for under $137.00. My last new Unertl ran $416.00. I met John Unertl Jr at Camp Perry back in the 1980s.

The only long scopes I own are Stevens. Can't say I've seen any long Unertl of Fecker scopes? At least not full length long like the Stevens.

I have a Winchester A5 with Mann-Niedner mounts that came with a case like the one Kurt_701 shows except that it's flared only at the capped end.  Am I right in assuming those cases were not supplied by Winchester?
