Great pics Deeno - I only hope that the owner has some AA interest and appreciates its worth and provenance: or at least it ends up in the hands of someone who does!

Reminds me of the one shown on CN that came with a Cooke & Sons 4" or 5" achromatic triplet objective - being me I'd have loved to have seen images of the refractor: these Victorian era scopes and mounts were works of real art/craftmanship to behold: a combination of casting, machining and hand-crafting excellence. Wonder about its performance....?

Regards, Darryl.
