Legit Antique Scope?


Recommended Posts

My curiosity is peaked, a local buy/sell ad lists an antique scope, it certainly looks legit but, apparently there are no markings. Does anyone recognize this scope? I would like to see it in person, this could be a restoration project.

that does look a lovely scope and mount 🙂

I bought a totally unknown scope earlier this year that is a 3-inch, leather clad tube and drawtube focuser around F11, just the OTA and had a single brass plossl 0.965 eyepiece with it. A total punt in the dark but for £20 I couldn't resist much as I tried to. It gives great views and is likely from the 1950's generation, perhaps. 

Definitely looks worth seeing in person if you can, I'm just glad it's not local to me 😄
