Solid Brass Full Size
Sextant - 10.5"
This is very
CLOSE to the
'real' thing. A finely hand machined solid brass
sextant in hardwood cabinet. Has all the working parts and
mirrors on what would be a real sextant. We DO NOT recommend
buying this to be used as a reliable instrument for
navigation.
Can be used to
take some
global measurements and as a teaching tool.
