AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very beautiful and authentic antique land surveying instrument (optical level) from the late 19th or early 20th century.
This type of instrument was used by surveyors and engineers for the precise determination of elevation differences in terrain and in construction projects.
What is special about this specimen is the detachable telescope, a feature of older and more craft-made models. The combination of black-painted metal and brass details gives it a striking industrial and decorative appearance.
Original detachable telescope with 3 leveling legs.
Very suitable as a decorative object or for collectors of technical instruments.
In good antique condition with normal signs of use appropriate to the age.
Many photos added so the condition of the instrument can be well assessed.
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 listings and potentially save on shipping costs.
Not shipped to the United States.
