Solid Brass
Sextant - 9"
This is a great
model of the
'real' thing. A finely hand machined solid brass
sextant in hardwood cabinet. Has all the working parts and
mirrors with what appears to be a precision scale to take fairly accurate
global measurements. But this sextant should not be
considered a real accurate instrument.
