Our Stock # LFA-1383
This is an antique single draw, marine telescope dating to the mid-Victorian period at the end of the Crimean War c.1855 - 71.
The scope retains it's original leather sleeve in good order as well as it's end lens cap. The objective lens measures 28mm (1.1") and the sun shade pulls out smoothly. The flared eye cup has a sliding dust cover in good working order.

Hand engraved on the draw tube for the renowned Portsea retailer the inscription reads 'Manufactured for E & W Seagrove, General Outfitters, 22 & 23 Hard, Portsea'. E & W Seagrove ran the Naval Outfitters between 1855 & 1871.
