tripod for antique brass scope

I have my great grandfather's brass scope. It is 70cms long with four extendable tubes, the smallest of which is 2.5cm in diameter and the largest 5cm. It has no way of mounting it so would need a circular clasp on the tripod that the scope could fit into. Failing that, for a suitable tripod I could have a mount made. I would prefer a timber and brass tripod but I am told they are like hen's teeth!! Any suggestions of where I might find one - or similar - also appreciated. Repro is fine. Thanks alot.
