At these replica sites for old military telescopes you can purchase great replicas of old military telescopes that were used on ships and other military vehicles. You might find, for instance huge old military telescopes that were used as port masters or small ones that were used as spyglasses.
In most cases, these replicas of old military telescopes are not only piquant keepsakes but working telescopes as well.

Telescope

The spyglass telescope, for example, has a fine conclude and a superior look. It is tiny sufficient to fit inside your pocket but when you unfold it it stretches to 14 inches. This smallest of the old military telescopes has great optics. Its rosewood surface gives it an piquant look as well as comfortable grip. The lens on this spyglass telescope is protected from damage by a cap made of brass.

At the other end of the size spectrum of these old military telescopes is the Port master Telescope. Its cost is 5.

It's gigantic (40 inches) but attractive, and stands on a beautiful rosewood tripod. This old military telescope is so tall that a taller than mean adult can still view straight through it while standing.

The Port master has a targeting telescope that expands and contracts and is mounted on top of its main tube. Once you have honed in on your celestial (or in this case naval) target, you'll find a sharp clear image of even distant objects. The telescope's positioning instruments bring you very exacting facts about your target's angle and its locking screws, which are adjustable, let this old military telescope move easily. In contrast, it can also lock it in place.

The Port master telescope weighs more than twenty pounds.
