Celestron Silver Top Plossl 50mm Question

Hi,

Here's a couple of trivia questions for owners of the Celestron 2" 50mm Plossl...

1) What is the part number? This can be found on the orange carton that the eyepiece came in. Look on the white label on the end for a 5-digit number.

2) Has anyone ever seen an all silver version of the 50mm Plossl? I am only aware of the original black body and the "Silver Top" with the black top.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Wish I would have bought it ...

Thanks for the reply, Steve. That at least gives me some indication that this variation might exist. I've never even seen a photo of one. Do you know if it was engraved like the 1.25" silvertops, or was the lettering just painted on?

Regards,
Blake
