Antique octant from the Netherlands, estimated 1930–1940, made of wood and brass, about 30 cm wide, 26 cm deep and 13 cm high, in good condition with minor signs of age and spots, and comes in a box with a key.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A particularly beautiful antique octant in a box.
The maker is not indicated. However, I suspect it is Dutch because the inspection report comes from the Netherlands.
Maybe an Observator or Harri. The connoisseur will undoubtedly know it.
The box is still in good condition with a key.
Many photos added so that the condition of the octant can be properly assessed.
Taking photographs is part of the description.

The octant will be shipped very well packed, insured, and registered, with a track and trace code.
See also my other lots and possibly save on shipping costs.
Not sent to the United States.
