*AFRIKA KORPS* GENUINE LEATHER MOUNT ANTIQUATED BRASS WW-II GERMAN CAMOUFLAGE STYLE 39" (100 cm) TERRESTIAL TELESCOPE ON 5' (152 cm) ROSEWOOD TRIPOD. NEW LIMITED EDITION

This stunningly beautiful solid BRASS refractor telescope comes with a matching solid teakwood and brass tripod mount.  The barrell of the telescope is mounted with WW-II Wehrmacht camouflage style mocca leather -  hand-stitched. Almost all the brass harbourmasters being sold nowadays require some serious maintenance polishing to make them look presentable  -  but this stunner is completely maintenance free, with its antiquated brass finish and the leather mounting that covers much of the barrel. The folding teakwood tripod with beautiful accents has a maximum height of 60". Its precision ground glass 6 lens optics (Russian) produce a clear 32X image '. The 42 mm objective affords an extraordinary field of view. There are very few telescopes this size that can match  its exceptional finishing and aesthetics.

The instrument is 39" long (This is the real length. We do not put a sunshade and then call it 44" long), it has a lens cap to protect the objective lens and rotating mechanism at the eyepiece for focusing. It will look absolutely gorgeous looking out of your living room window, especially if you have a good view of nature or the city's concrete jungle. Please note that this is a terrestial telescope for maritime and land use and is not designed to make astronomical observations.
