Chaplain Mirror Telescope
very rare, early British brass Gregorian mirror table-top telescope, signed 'Chaplain Fecito 405' on the tripod, in fine original condition, missing the small reflecting mirror, c.42cm long, tube diameter 69mm, with c.30cm high brass folding tripod and original front screw lid, due to the poor performance of metal mirrors the early mirror telescopes weren't popular until the XX century and are very hard to find nowadays
