I've been watching that one for a couple of months. He started it out for over US$600 and has re-listed it about four times since. It is a MkVI, the last model of the "Signallers" telescopes. I think the MkVI was produced from the mid twenties through to the start of WW2, although I will stand to be corrected on this. Even though it is in exc. condition (I've not seen a better MkVI Sig.) I would think the price is still $100 too high.
There are quite a few considerable differences between the "TEL. SIG. MkVI" (Signallers telescope) and the purpose built "TELE. SCT. REGTS. MKII" (Scout Regiment Telescope).
The Signallers were for general service issue and would have been used by snipers and observers up untill the Scout Regiment 'scopes were available.
I have three military telescopes (WW1 Sig. MkIV; Sig. MkVI and SCT REGT MKII) and a tripod (STD. INST. NO21 MkV) that was meant for use by signallers and observation posts and the like.
Here's pics of the TELE. SCT. REGT. and the 1915 TEL. SIG. MKIV

These telescopes usually go for 300-450 dollars. A friend of mine has one 1916 with spare eye piece and attached leather. British made very nice.

Here is the one I have
it is missing the carry strap. Does anyone know where I could get a strap for it ?
Anyhow I could use two more of these telescopes to complete my other No4T's
Well here is a pic ...
