LRH Team, I need your help - Do you recognize this old spotter?

[DesertDweller62]

Does anyone recognize this old spotter? It was given to me by an elderly gentleman who passed away days after he gave it to me. He did not remember any details of the scope. I cannot find any identifing marks on the scope or tripod. It has a lower power "Finder" scope and once you find the object you can go to the higher power scope. It appears to be mostly brass construction. The focusing systems still work and the tripod has adjustable legs. If you have any information on this unit I would greatly appriciate your input. Here are some images of the unit. Thanks in advance for your help! DesertDweller62

Looks like a vintage brass nautical tele in 75mm. Yours still has the inclination/declination indicator attached, for these are sometimes removed and lost.
