Default Quick Question! Does it actually work??....
Can anyone tell me if the spyglass from the AC Corsair Italian edition is actually a working spyglass?

I.e. Does it magnify or is it purely ornamental with standard glass as the lens??

Thank you

Well I guess you've been making yourself feel better looking through the spyglass but it's still 1"

No problem!

Yeah it's a working spyglass. Due to it's size it doesn't magnify very far, but it works nonetheless.

Size isn't everything...

So it's small but functional and does the job as long as you're not expecting any significant enlargement??

Actually my desk would be great for this and I could spy out of the window at people arguing in the supermarket car park opposite...

My biggest problem is the lack of any room to display stuff - it is really frustrating

I have plans to build a room in the garden for my collection!! LOL
