This telescope is in very good working condition. No damage to the scope body and to brass tubes. All drawers glide smoothly.

There appears to be a small chipped area at the edge of front lens but this is hardly noticeable and does not seem to affect the use of the scope in any way. Apart from this, no damage to scope lenses and no fungus on the internal lenses. All internal lenses have been cleaned. The telescope gives clear images.

General wear and tear appropriate with age and use. Brass objective lens cap is missing.
