Description from the seller
Antique brass marine navigation sextant. The instrument is equipped with an untested telescopic scope, a large graduated arc with a precision reading system, mirrors, and several colored optical filters.

An iconic piece of scientific and optical instrumentation, highly sought after by enthusiasts of antique navigation, vintage maritime items, scientific curiosities, industrial design, steampunk, and high-end nautical décor.
Ideal for a collection, display case, cabinet of curiosities, or nautical décor.
( compass, magnetic compass, dry compass, marine chronometer, spyglass, telescope )
Good overall condition, with a natural brass patina and signs of age consistent with its years.
