A classic WW2 single draw Naval Officer of the Watch telescope, engraved 'CKC Pattern 373 No. 1109' on the first draw, it also has the Canadian C enclosed military arrow.

Measuring 17" (430 mm) closed and 26½" (675 mm) fully extended, the powerful 45 mm objective lens delivers a sharp, clear image of approximately 15x, and this telescope is as practical today as when it was first made.

Made by the Canadian Kodak Company and weighing just over 1.4 kg, these telescopes were specially constructed for Naval use and are very robust, with nickel plated draw tube and fittings.

All lenses are free of any chips and protected by a removable end cap for the objective, with an integral dust cover in the eyepiece cup. In good cosmetic condition, the main barrel still has its original leather cladding with only minimal scuffing.

It retains most of the nickel plating, except in several small areas where the brass has come through, and despite a small, shallow crease on the draw tube, it still has a smooth, firm draw action.
