I have just "adopted" a 100mm Gardner, I bought rather nice 108mm Solo (you can not have to many 108's) and the battered and bruised Gardner was looking lonely and I did not have the heart to leave it behind.
I of course trying to get a rough age for it, but so far can not place, though to be honest I do not know a great deal about the Gardner's.
It has black nylon scales and brass liners (no key ring) so I assume its early on, but I have no idea when they first came out (I have seen one article that said early 2000's).
The only other distinguishing feature is a red shield on black scales. All the pictures I have found so far the shield is the same colour as the scales.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for this one?
