It has a mahogany body section that is well protected with a thick layer of black materials, and brass tubes that have some small dents from years of use. These do not affect the performance of the telescope, which has high power and clarity.

All internal lenses are clean and free of damage, dirt or fungus. You can hold this telescope by hand, but it is better to use a stand or some kind of support for stability. This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of maritime heritage that will impress your friends and family.
