Although I am not familiar with the scope, it looks like it may be 70's or 80's vintage and was intended to be a silhouette scope.
Look down inside through the objective lens and carefully look for any possible defects like mould or lens separations or anything else that doesn't look right, as they would be grounds for substantial reductions in price.
The thing to consider is that for not much more $ you can get a used German 8x56 of the same era but with vastly superior optics, or a Lynx or Sightron fixed 10x42 with quite good Japanese internals.
