Nothing as rarified as yours but I have an original Leupold Vari-X 3 x 9 scope with a beautiful reddish patina. It has a 1.7" objective lens and does not have a self-centering reticle. It has 1/2" rather than the standard 1/4" clicks. Unfortunately, the reticle gets thicker at the higher magnifications although in later advertisements Leupold reversed this to allow a thicker reticle for close-in hunting at lower magnification. Mine appears to have been made around 1962. Leupold used to offer a free service to clean up, replace worn gaskets and refill scopes with nitrogen but when I called to ask about this one, they said they were unable to service anything that old.
Vic, are you asking Scrumbag or me? If it's in reference to my Leupold, it has a plain untapered crosshair that is super thin at 3x but is way too thick at 9x. It's just the reverse of what it should have been.
