AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A rare antique theodolite by the German instrument maker Ed Sprenger from Berlin.
The instrument still looks good with a beautiful patina. An instrument that certainly belongs in a collection or a museum.
Placed in an old wooden chest.
Many photos have been added. Also, a photo with a pen is included so that the size can be determined accurately.
The compass needle and glass are missing; photos are part of the description.

The instrument is packed very carefully, sent by registered mail and insured, with a track-and-trace code.
See also my other lots and possibly save on shipping costs.
Not sent to the United States.
