    I think that one might be fake. If you look at where it says zeroing procedure it has both english and spanish words on it.

    ....wait, are you being serious?

    OP, perhaps calling Elcan with the SN. It's always a gamble buying from Ebay. Hopefully an Elcan expert can post here with some useful advice.

    My bad I drank way too much grey goose today. When I saw el I thought it meant the in spanish, but after thinking about it I think it means elevation. Elcan's website says If you have any doubt about the authenticity send an email to info@ELCAN.com with any information about the seller including link to website, model, and serial number.

    That is a good price, but I'm wary of buying things from EBAY.

    I'll say this. If you look at his feedback with over 1400 transactions it is 100%. In addition he has PEQ-2s and other stuff in the past. This tells me that he is more than likely legit. You could probably have contact the rep for ELCAN and provided that serial number and they would have given you information.

    Thats a bid,and after the time is up, If the highest bid isnt close to what the seller wants for it, he wont sell it,I bet by the time it's over with that Elcan wont go for less than $1900.
