Description |
The monocular has a brass body. The objective is positioned by opening the two clamshell-like covers and turning the lever, which rotates the objective lens cell from a horizontal to vertical position. The objective is a single non-achromatic lens. There is one brass draw, a single eye lens, and a flared eyecup. Focusing is done by turning a ring mounted on the draw. It is signed "KING OPTICAL Co. 1891" on the outside of one of the clamshell covers, but it is actually a replica, recently made in India. |
