CONDITION NOTES:

OUTER EDGE OF EYEPIECE HAS A SIZABLE DING - SEE PICTURES.

We are NOT experts on these ...it looks to be fully functional (clear sight thru & thru, graduations (0-90 on the lens and 5-50 mm on the steel) are clearly visible on both the reticle and the incised steel bar (visible thru a "peak-hole" thru the shaft), adjustment knob twists smooth & works like-new) and in Very Good/VG+ cosmetic condition. All we see is minor -to- moderate overall cosmetic wear from normal use over the years. We see NO major defects, breaks or repairs. The vast majority of the original black japanning remains but there are areas of wear, with exposed brass. Features outstanding patina throughout. See pics.

DIMENSIONS & WEIGHT:

Measures 5" long, when fully retracted x approx. 1-3/8" diameter. Please see ruler in pictures for size/scale reference. Additional measurements shall be provided upon request.

Weighs 1 lb. 0.6 oz..
