AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A particularly beautiful antique sextant in a wooden box.
This type of sextant is rarely offered, especially with the various lenses included.
Heritage is unfortunately unknown. I suspect it is from the United Kingdom. The connoisseur will undoubtedly know it.
On the wooden box, three letters are engraved in brass: F.J.P.
A large number of photos added so that the condition of the sextant can be accurately assessed.
Taking photos are part of the description.
The sextant will be shipped very well packaged, insured, and registered with a track and trace code.
See my other lots and possibly save on shipping costs.
Not sent to the United States.
