Top quality brass refractor?

[FLO]

Hi,

I have a customer looking for a top quality brass refractor.

Not the rubbishy look-alikes types sold by department stores and Sunday papers but a pucker quality instrument with a Naval look about it. It will be setup in his home so that he and his guests can observe ships at sea.

Price is not an issue!

Can anyone suggest where he might get such a telescope?

Thanks,

Steve

Well, when I get that big lottery win, I'll have them make me a 150mm Apo.

There was an American ship's telescope from WWII on ebay a while ago, so they do turn up from time to time.
