Uncommon old-school Takahashi Japan .965" prism diagonal for astronomical telescopes with some sort of setting circle arrangement. We started a thread on this on CloudyNights in an attempt to identify it's application but while there were some suggestions there was not positive identification ("CloudyNights/Forums/Equipment Discussions/Eyepeices/Interesting Takahashi .965" Prism Diagonal w/Odd Scale). Very clean condition, no chips or rattles.
Not labeled as a Takahashi product but ...there is no doubt about it, the compression style eyepiece clamp and its specific design are exclusive to Takahashi at the time of build.
Note the Takahashi prisms reduce fringe color (CA) considerably in achromat refractors over other brands.
