over 25” with its sunshade. The
main tube is covered in brown leather, and the telescope is finished in
nickel silver. The finish is in very fine condition with no brassing and
complete leather coverage. The
eyepiece cover is missing. The
telescope has very fine optics and dates to the later part of the 19th
century. Item 5025....................$485 |
