    Default help:Can you give me an estimate of this telescope british

    dear friends hello
    Can you give me an estimate of this telescope,
    In 1940, in the wreckage of a boat, stranded on the beach of Dunkirk, it is an English manufacture,
    under the Canadian licence, the optics are not broken but have some black spots in
    field of view, the main tube has some depressions and is highly oxidized
    Being interested, More by the origin of the object than by its state , I prefer to be able to make a rational and honest offer
    Sorry for the quality of the photos I have not yet had the object in hand, in advance I thank you for your answer

    Sincerely ,,Johann.

    chers amis bonjour

    En 1940 dans l’épave d’un bateau ,échoué sur la plage de DUNKERQUE ,il s’agit d’une fabrication anglaise,
    sous licence canadienne, les optiques ne sont pas cassés mais présente quelques taches noires dans
    le champ de vision, le tube principal présente quelques enfoncement et il est fortement oxydé
    Étant intéressé, Plus par la provenance de l’objet que par son état , je préfère pouvoir faire une offre rationnel et honnête

    before you even consider purchasing, you need to establish what proof the seller has that the telescope was recovered from a wreck at Dunkirk in 1940. You should never accept a story as being true without some form of proof. Quite often a story is attached to an object to increase its value.

    probably impossible to prove its "history", which makes it worth whatever the scope is worth in its own right

    Whatever its just an opinion.

    Given its condition, I would say between £60 - £80... but please bear in mind that this is only what I would be prepared to pay. Someone else might wish to pay more!
