Antique Early 1900’s Brass Sextant

Antique early 1900’s French brass sextant

This characteristic instrument was once used to navigate at the open sea.
It features multiple lenses making it possible to measure the angle between an astonomical object and the horizon for the purposes of celestial navigation.

It would be the perfect addition to display in your nautical collection!

After more than a century the sextant is in used condition and shows signs of wear.
Over the years it acquired a nice patina which only adds more charm to it in my eyes!
