Description
Objective, possibly manufactured by Ross. The objective has a long barrel with two focusing screws protruding from each side. The barrel screws into a threaded collar. The objective is stored in a can with a threaded lid. The objective itself screws into the underside of the can's lid. The lid of the can has been tampered with and the focal length engraved on it is no longer visible. This probably shows that it is not the original can for this objective.
