late 80s early 90s from what I've been told by Swarovski. If you call them with the serial number, they will be able to give you more information. I didn't have the serial number when I called them.
Mine is a 2.2-9x42 and it's nice. Sits on my pre-64 243...

I had one. It was around 1990. Not sure what year it was when they changed. I believe the PH Pro Hunters were next. 8 years old sounds a little iffy to me.

18 years ago sounds about right.

I knew that it was toward the end of the 90's that they started making them with aircraft grade aluminum. What do you think the value of the scope is?

From those that I've seen on auctions or at a store, between 500-700$. Depends on what the buyers are looking for. My Nova came on a rifle and I value it at about 500$.
