You may be right that the Made in the USA and Schott glass are 2 distinct and independent claims which are not related to each other. Schott does have a presence in North America but I don't what they make here verses in their Germany factory.
However, even if the Swift glass is German made then that may be even better glass than if it was made in the U.S., which is to the optical benefit of Swift scopes either way.
