When it came back looked brand new!! I believe the new owners of the Unertl Name are located in California or Las Vegas. Years ago, I returned one that had been in a fire for a friend. You basically got back an as new scope, with very little indication it had been redone. I believe the reason you see so many nice ones is that John Unertl offered a refurbishing service that was quite inexpensive. Even though these were not the best available (even during WWII) they were used right up to and during Viet Nam. I have seen totally trashed, poor, refinished to parkerized, refinished, and several excellent - to one I own brand new in the original box documented from a submarine out of Portland/Seattle area. I have probably owned about 8 USMC marked Unertls over the past 40 years (think I still have about 4) and looked at a couple dozen more.
