The scopes were a partnership. Thomas provided the design but the scopes were the outcome of several different sources. Who continues the business remians to be seen but the SS should not cease production IMHO.

More info should be available in the coming days.

TMB optical will continue through his estate. A master optician (PHD) who is incredibly talented is working alongside those individuals who will be carrying on the TMB legacy.

The SS line will continue with more offerings planned at a later date.
