Riflescope TRIOG 12-20-40X80, Officine Galileo, Royal Italian Navy, circa 1939

historicacollectibles.com/en/binoculars-and-telescopes/ri...

It is a high-brightness telescope with an 80 mm achromatic doublet and 12-20-40x eyepieces on a rotating turret, with a particular and ingenious external locking system. It was produced from around 1938, to be destined on board the flagships of the Royal Italian Navy and used as an aiming device useful for artillery fire against ships and aircraft. It has exceptional ocular and objective lenses, which provide the observer with a very sharp and bright image. What makes this triocular technologically advanced, unlike models produced in the same period by other important companies, is the creation of two highly precise rack mechanisms applied to raise the telescope vertically.
The view is very clear, bright and perfectly collimated. There are also 3 reticles, different from each other, in each single eyepiece.
It is complete with its original transport case in which the yellow anti-fog filters are kept. It is also accompanied by the tripod transport case, without the cover, but bearing the lead-stamped mark "Unione Militare".

Unione Militare:
The Military Union was founded in Rome as a consumer cooperative and joint-stock credit company A.R.L. with an act dated 22 December 1889. It was transformed into an autonomous body, having its own legal personality and subject to the supervision of the Minister of War, with Royal Decree-Law 27 October 1926, n. 1999 (which came into force on 1 February 1927). This cooperative society had two main purposes: that of providing for the supply and sale of clothing and military equipment, as well as ordinary consumer goods, at low costs, even for those who were not members of the organisation; to exercise credit to members through mutual aid and savings. It carried out these functions through a Headquarters in Rome and various Branches and Agencies present in other Italian cities. The officers in permanent service in the Armed Forces and the students of colleges, schools and military academies were officially registered in the cooperative society; each member had to pay at least a share of the share capital. The cooperative society was definitively liquidated with the ministerial decree of 24 February 1989.
