AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Old theodolite / portable collimator with a sight, signed H. Morin – Paris, dating from the 1930s–1950s. A precision optical measuring instrument used in surveying, geodesy, and for military applications, intended to evaluate angles and inclinations. Body in gray-painted brass, equipped with an internal optical system with readings visible at the eyepiece and through a side window, as well as a micrometric mechanical adjustment device. It presents a nice patina of wear and bears witness to French know-how in scientific instrumentation from the mid-20th century.

A fine antique scientific instrument, both functional and decorative, perfect for a collector or hobbyist. Optical equipment used by military engineers for topography and artillery. Vintage workshop/science decoration (microscope, sextant, compass, telescope, magnifying glass, monocular, marine compass) or for display. A beautiful example of French precision equipment
