     The optics co. is J.W. Fecker.  I'm not familiar with them, but I 
thought that you may have searched for F.W. and come up empty-handed, so 
I did a pretty extensive search just for the heck of it and came up with 
these sites that contain either J.W. Fecker or the Fecker Systems.  If 
you go to one of the sites, do a "Find on this page" for Fecker.

Were these optics any good? I believe so, but if  ever  I come across a 
Fecker mirror again.. I want to know if it is worth buying.  Are there 
any of these scopes still in operation..perhaps I could contact them.
