My guess is a 10' F10 Newt? If so, that mount must be a piece of work
to support that thing!

Any other (better informed) ideas? ;O)

BTW I'm assuming that 'internal diameter 240m' should be mm!

I wonder if the seller is in breach of the Trade Descriptions Act
calling it 'professional'.

Replace nospam with the antithesis of hills

It's a 8 incher. . .

European. Probably 8-9inch f/8 at least. Almost looks hand made
(crude) but old newts were made this way. Note the welded channel
under the rings and that wild slow motion contraption indicative of old
50's scopes. Metal or glass fibre tube. Looks like glass fibre. Somebody
from UK might know more about this, historically. Trade the owner an old
RV and he might be happy - shipping costs would cancel out! Where do all

these people in UK gets this antique stuff to put on Ebay? This scope
would
have been professional only at the turn of the last century.
