Pride of the Quarterdeck - "Now I See Ships"

In the days of sail, the quarterdeck from which the ship was commanded was traditionally used by officers only. Its symbol of authority was the telescope handed from the officer of one"watch" period of four hours to the man taking over his duties.

Our officer-of-the-watch telescope is in sateen polished brass with a hand-stitched leather grip. Its classic single draw makes it quick to open, extending to a full 18" (46cm). With a specially commissioned twist-focus to adjust the eyepiece (no such luxury in Nelson's time) and 20x magnification, it is a serious instrument.

Front diameter 45mm (2.75"), eyepiece outer diameter 35mm (1.5") inner diameter 9mm (.25"), weight 730g (1.5lbs).

Befitting its ceremonial use, the polished wood presentation box is shaped for display or as a storage rack. The corners have brass military furniture trim and there is an engraving plate for initials.

ENGRAVING

Engraving appears impressively on an eliptical brass plate on the box and costs an additional £12.50 for up to 14 letters. Initials can be divided by dots or choose a word or words with up to 14 letters - remember that the more letters you have the smaller they must be.

Box measures 320 x 80 x 70mm (12.5 x 3 x 2.75")
