A Ww1 Military Telescope

1900 - 1920

Sold by The Antique Partnership

Description

A good military telescope on stand. The brass telescope made by The Periscopic Prism Co London ( well known makers of sniper scopes) and the stand by Broadhurst Clarkson London. Both dated 1917 and 1915 respectively. The telescope bears the broad arrow military mark. Both are with military green paint some of which has worn through to the brass surfaces. The telescope is powerful with a good 6cm objective lens. It focusses well (there are cross hairs) and moves horizontally smoothly and vertically on the stand. The stand is very well made with all its fittings intact. The legs are of oak and brass with aluminium tops and adjust up and down well. There is an original objective lens cap and screw on sun shade which has a minor dent in it. The main barrel has a hairline crack in it which is of no consequence and has probably been there since it was made.

The scope 77.5 cm long 6.5 cm in diameter Max height on stand 166 min about 106cm
