Most important the price , compare our feedback, and the ones I checked will need very little calibration, but we guarantee nothing and want every user to calibrate their sextant so they will know what to do if it gets, dropped, bumped or other misuse. We have over 99% happy customers, I believe it is because we are blunt, and try to tell the truth about each item.
This is the heavy, thick brass frame, 7 in arc, 6 in pivot to dial.
Crafted in the style of a century ago, this sextant has a nicely polished and finished wood handle, as well as brass stand legs for upright easy display.
Additionally, it is fully functional! Ready for final adjustments, and calibration. All in all, would make a great gift for the sextant enthusiast and novice alike. Certainly a fine item for the sextant, brass, nautical, surveying, engineering instrument, militaria, or other collection - also nice looking on display.
