I notice some of the SWFA SS 5-20 scopes have the logo on the outside of the illumination dial and some don't. What's the difference if the is one?

Okay that's what I was thinking. A guy has one that's blacked out and it's listed as illuminated. I just wasn't sure if it was a early production model or something? So, logo illuminated and blacked out non- illuminated. Thanks man.

Both illuminated and non illuminated on the SWFA website show the logo.

I think it was early production that did not have the logo, but I do not remember for sure.

If memory serves me correctly, the non illuminated scopes were rolled out around Black Friday of 2011.  With this intial roll out, there was a limited run that came with the blacked out cap.  After these were sold out, then all illuminated and non illuminated models came with a cap that had the logo.

Yep, the black friday ones did not have the logo.
