Stanley London Polished 4 Brass Sextant w/ Leather Case

This is a beautifully made reproduction of a 4-inch radius British Lifeboat Sextant. Each sextant is expertly crafted from solid brass and marked with a unique serial number.

The sextant has an accurately divided German Silver scale, and a slow motion control for making small adjustments to the index arm.

A powerful magnifier can be swung into position to assist in reading the vernier scale. The telescope has polished glass lenses and produces a sharp magnified image.

The mirror mounts are adjustable, and the index mirror has three recessed adjustments. The sextant features four swing arm tinted glass filters.

On the back of the sextant is a turned hardwood handle. The sextant measures 5 inches (12.7 cm) tall, 4.25 inches (10.8 cm) wide, 2 5/8 inches (6.7 cm) deep, and weighs over a pound (454 grams).

While this sextant is fully functional with properly aligned optics, it has not been calibrated and is not intended for navigation.

They are perfect for the collector or nautical enthusiast interested in learning celestial navigation.
