Made by Broadhurst Clarkson, this 3 draw leather clad telescope is known as the 'Tourist', and is fitted with an additional pancratic draw tube, enabling the power to be increased at will from 25x to 40x magnification in 5x increments.

The telescope body is of the tapered barrel type, covered in stitched brown leather which is in good condition with all stitching intact and only minimal scuffing, along with protective leather end caps, plus a shoulder carry strap.

Engraved 'Broadhurst Clarkson & Co Ltd, 63 Farringdon Road, London E.C', it measures 10.5" (265mm) closed, and 34 ½" (875mm) fully drawn with sunshade extended and has an objective lens diameter of 55mm which delivers a clear well focused image.

Fully functional with clear undamaged lenses and in very good cosmetic condition, the brass dent free tubes still have a firm draw action and retain much of their original non reflective finish.

Weighing just under 1.3kgs, this is a quality telescope still practical for use today.
