Good eyes, James!
It's a Swift 838 50mm 700mm FL
Complete except tripod legs, with prism diagonal, erecting prism, EQ mount with setting circles, barlow, and 6mm and 20mm eyepieces.
It was not an Ebay purchase, but a trade-in-kind with another astronomer.
It's getting dark soon, and we're headed to the moon for first light.
The views looked spectacular this afternoon across the valley, even though I have not cleaned anything up yet. The objective is dusty,but in good shape, and even the finder objective is a coated achromat, and excellent for its size.

From the places where they hide throughout the day

And the vastnesses of time can't wash away..."Jeff Green
