(33cm.) long (closed in case)Provenance: Given to vendor in early 1950's by an R.N. Officer who recovered it from Bremerhaven at the close of WWII.Karl Dönitz (1891-1980) succeeded Erich Raeder as Commander-in-Chief of the Kriegsmarine on 30th January 1943 and quickly developed the infamous 'wolfpacks' of submarines used to persecute allied convoys. This was met with considerable initial success and allied losses rocketed until new methods of detection - aided by the breaking of naval enigma code - redressed the balance. With Hitler's suicide on April 30th 1945, Dönitz was, briefly, Chancellor of the crumbling Reich until the arrest of the Flensburg Government on 23rd May. Sentenced to ten years imprisonment for war crimes at the Nuremburg Trials, he lived quietly thereafter in a village near Hamburg until his death aged 91. Zeiss confirm that this instrument was made between 1900 and 1906 so may have been given to Dönitz when he was commissioned as an acting sub-lieutenant in 1913. The apochromatic telescope is an improvement on the standard achromatic type by using a secondary lens to align coloured light even more closely; they are generally more compact and far more expensive for the results yielded.

Along with the stone chimes called bianqing, they were an important instrument in China's ritual and court music going back to ancient times.Translations of inscription: Guoshu Lü said: 'My great mighty glorious deceased father Huishu, served his master with a magnificent bright virtue and received countless benefit. I looked up to my deceased father’s virtue as a role model and served the king, so the king has given me even more benefit. In order to repay and publicize the numerous benefits given by the king, I commissioned this set of bells in memorial of my deceased father, Huishu. When the bells ring, my glorious father in heaven would protect and bless the later generations on the earth and send much luck from the heaven to me. My later generations will treasure these bells as sacrifice to their ancestors for ten thousand years'. 清 铜铸编钟虢叔旅曰：“丕显皇考惠叔穆穆秉元明德，御于厥辟，得纯亡愍。旅敢肇师型皇考威仪，口御于天子。乃天子多赐旅休。”旅对天子鲁休扬，用作朕皇考惠叔大林和钟。皇考严在上，翼在下。口口，降旅多福。旅其万年子子孙孙永宝用享。
