Description

SOLD – The telescope measures 14.5″ (36.5 cms) fully open and 13 cms when closed with a main lens of 38mm. The lens is spun crimp-sealed into the cell and has a crown / flint assembly. It may well be a triple achromatic – it’s hard to tell. Signed on the first draw, ‘Ramsden, London’.

The first draw tube is a 3 – piece assembly. The eye-piece has a dust slider. Honduras mahogany barrel.

All lenses are damage free. There are no dents, no cracks to the wood – very nice.

It gives a good, clear image
