A Jobin Paris Spotting Scope
I tried to get more info but this is all I could find on net. I've had this spotter for 25 years. Can't verify if this unit is original such as the yoke/cradle and tall tripod. Turret functions well and 15X, 23X and 30X oculars come to focus. I do not see any indication of fungus on the objective. Retractable lens shade and brass objective cover. The original leather wrap on tube has shrunk. I need to move to new home.
$275.00 plus shipping and packing. Pick up is recommended.
Manufacturer: A. Jobin, Paris.
- Context: These were often used as artillery or trench spotting scopes (sometimes marked U.S. or French).
- Mounting: The scopes generally used a specialized, heavy-duty brass or steel tripod mount designed for stability in field conditions, rather than a weapon-mounted system.
- Era: While frequently associated with WWI, items from this maker were utilized through the interwar period and into the early stages of WWII.
