The telescope also retains its protective end caps. Please note that the small eyepiece lens is missing, so the telescope is being sold as an antique\/display piece or prop requiring attention before it could be used optically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"830\" data-end=\"1160\"\u003eThe brass stand has a turned central column, three scrolling feet and an adjustable mounting arrangement allowing the telescope to be tilted.
