Note: Telescope extends and retracts properly. There is a slight dent mark on the third brass tube, which has been smoothed and polished. There are two small chips on the edge of the front lens, although these are invisible when viewing through the telescope and do not seem to affect the performance of the scope. Internal lenses have been cleaned where accessible.
