A good marine single draw telescope, signed around the draw tube, ‘Wellington, Crown Court, Soho, London’, measuring 35.25″ fully drawn and 20″ closed with an objective lens of 1.5″.

It has a mahogany barrel and is complete with eye piece dust slider and lens cap. It gives a fine, clear image when viewed through. There are a couple of tiny dimples to the draw tube.
