Does anyone recognize this version of the antenna? I decide to buy it, but I can't guess which company the antenna is. The owner doesn't know either. The antenna is 2.4m in size.

Do not worry about the brand, the quality looks OK. I clearly see parts A and B (circled red). Look somewhere in green circle, maybe there is some kind of label. Anyway, take the antenna, install it and be happy! :) Screenshot-20231010-100009-Vibera.jpg
 
First of all, I have to arrange a transport or a van and drive 800km. I'd rather get a ChanelMaster of similar size. I'll see. But I'm still interested in who made this type of antenna.

Ask the seller to closely look for a label on the back of the dish. From a simple look, I would say, it is good quality dish (more or less same quality as CM or Prodelin). Just drive 800km, pick it up and be more than happy! :D
 
I talked to the owner. He said that the antenna, if I understood him correctly, is Nato. That it says tomway or something similar. He used the antenna to stream to intelsatellite.
 
If it is an "extraordinary" dish, and you want to use it for Ku-band, it might have an "extraordinary" f/D ratio for normal Ku-LNB-feedhorns.

A way to roughly measure and calculate dish specs would be to measure:
height of the dish
width of the dish
topstring length (top of dish to center of LNB feedhorn)
bottomstring length (bottom of dish to center of LNB feedhorn)

I can then do the calculations for you.

Looks exceptional find to me! Go for it!

I think that will be possible only after @Beli1910 gets dish at his place :) if he decides to do so at all.

If he already has it, I wouldn't be satisfied to do just 'rough' calculations! :)

I suspect, that the present owner might not want to do exact depth at the center measurements, but maybe topstring and bottomstring measures might be more easily doable for a layman.
That is what I was thinking of.

But in the meantime, the dish seems to be identified....!

Feedhorn ident

Chanced across these on ebay today. They look like Prodelin to me, but could be some Chinese clones, I suppose. Or for some non-Ku band?? It will be interesting to see what opening angle they have, and what the flange interface is. (Seems to be six screws, not eight). And the neck seems a tad...
