Re: Spotting a fake Zeiss Conquest
Quality of glass would be my first concern and a giveaway on a zeiss it should be bright and crystal clear. If this is not the case I would be concerned. Never heard of this on any brand of scope but I suppose its possible someone could try it. Did you buy it from a reputable seller? You could also send it to me for inspection and test firing as I have a home for it.

If you have indeed purchased a scope that you think may be a fake, call Zeiss @ 1-800-441-3005 ext 4# and give them the serial # and see if they know what scope it is.

Re: Spotting a fake Zeiss Conquest
I've heard about fake zeiss conquests. I had to send a conquest in for warranty work a few years ago, and the tech I spoke with on the phone verified that from time to time they recieved fake zeiss conquest scopes in to their warranty department... but other than them not being the same quality, I would think finding one for a "hell of a deal" would be your first clue it's a fake.

If anyone knows where they are being sold, we'd like to buy one for our reference collection. Most of the fake optics we have already bought are from eBay and usually come shipped from China.

Nuthins free - if you're getting a deal on a <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Zeiss</span></span> that's just a little too good...
