Apr 25, 2007 - I recently acquired a lens that is labelled: 'GOERZ DAGOR F:6.8 FOCUS 9 1/2 IN. 1926) are labeled: 'C.P. GOERZ BERLIN'. Based on the serial number and the simple 'Goerz Dagor' labeling, I'd say it's definitely ~90.

The equatorial head has finely marked setting circles. The lens (Serial number 484725) is an air spaced 60mm f/15 doublet in a cell. There are no scratches and the glass is in excellent condition.

The optical quality of the images are likewise excellent. The handle of the long RA slow motion control is wrapped in leather. The collapsible pier is marked with Serial number 23414.

The focuser is marked with serial number 22168. Goerz was founded in 1886 by Carl Paul Goerz. Originally, it made geometrical drawing instruments for schools. In 1889 Goerz began making optical lens under the name of Lynkeioskop C/2.

Lens making became his primary business. In 1890, Goerz products were introduced to the U.S. During the World's Fair at Chicago.

During the First World War, Goerz's main production was for the German and Austrian military. C P Goertz also made a series of telescopic sights for sporting rifles that saw some use during the shortage of military sniping rifles experienced during the early stages of the trench warfare that was to characterize much of World War I.

Goerz was an early advocate for socioeconomic equality, and ensured that his employees worked no more than 48 hours per week and received generous paid vacation and holiday packages. Carl Goerz died in 1923. In 1926 the German branch of Goerz merged with ICA, Contessa-Nettel and Ernemann to form Zeiss Ikon.

This telescope is described in the Zeiss Ikon pamphlet, above-right, as a Goerz Schulfernrohr. The German word for telescope is 'fernrohr' and 'schul' means teach or instruct. So this can be described as an 'Educational Telescope.'
