<p>[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 31622, member: 360"]Is it a modern reproduction? I don't think so. I've seen LOADS of modern reproductions. We sell them all over the place where I live. Plus, this one is far more 'worn in'. It has signs on it that this wasn't just made up yesterday in China. How old is it? I dunno. There's no maker's mark and nothing on it at all apart from that scratched engraving I mentioned. </p><p><br /></p><p>It's a very small telescope. 6.5in closed up. Travel-size really. I reckon someone onboard ship (an officer or captain, for example) would've had a larger and more powerful one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
