AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful double-frame sextant made by Troughton & Simms London around 1900. The last test date is September 1915, the certificate is present on the inside of the accompanying case. As you can read on the certificate, the radius of the sextant is made of platinum. The accompanying mahogany case is in good condition. The built-in lock operates; the key is included. The accessories in the case are nearly complete. This sextant was once the proud possession of E.G. Williams of the Royal Navy. This is indicated both on the sextant and on the case.
