Guest Dex55 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Just had a brand new 17mm Nagler delivered and I am very suprised to see that it has been made in Taiwan! So I checked my 22mm Nagler and yes that is also made in Taiwan. Since when has this happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Doc Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 I always thought TV (Televue) stuff was always made in the States. Oh well I'm not surprised really as most things are made in either China or Taiwan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
