Description

A very nice three draw telescope with a black enamelled barrel, the first draw is engraved, ‘Dollond, London. 5380’.

It measures 10 inches long when closed and opens to 29 inches in length with a doublet main lens of just over 1.5 inches (4 cms).

The first draw is constructed into 3 segments with a four lens arrangement, with an internal light stop fitted into the first segment; an arrangement thought to be based on the 4-lens eyepiece designed by John Dollond.

The telescope is free of damage and gives excellent clear views. In original brown tan, felt lined,  leather case (strap detached / missing).
