As a mentally ill service connected veteran suffering with MST and PTSD I know too much about stigmatization and I am wondering what benefit there is in it.
That said, page 17 of the current 2013 Celestaire catalog shows two aviation type sextants that they offer for sale at a somewhat reasonable (as far as the price of sextants go.) One is the Navy Mark V (AN 5851-1) going for: $900 with Averager.
The other is the A-12 (Link) and is described as a pre-WWII sextant manufactured by the Link Aviation co. It was used by the military and airlines until the mid-1940's and was the last of the line made for use in open cockpit aviation.
I have scanned the page and attache it below.
For all you DX'ers and Key enthusiasts (still) out there
