Dear List members,
I am interested in your opinion about these two sextants on e-bay:
110344551156
and 300290552493. Is this C.Plath a fake (or assembled of parts of
different sextants?)

We already discussed this question several years ago (on the old
list). This seller
sold several such C. Plath sextants since then. It looks almost
completely like
an SNO-M, to the minute detail, including the box construction,
accessories etc.
The certificates of C. Plath are definitely fake; they look like
printed on a computer and filled with
nonsense. The only difference between this C. Plath and SNO-M is the
arm and the drum.
This is what puzzles me.

I know this C. Plath seller, I bought several things from him in the
past and he makes an impression
of an honest person. He insists that his C. Plath's are genuine. One
possible explanation is that
those early SNO-M were made in Soviet Union on German machinery, and
they are really copies of
some C. Plath model. Or could the parts of these sextants be
interchangeable to such extent, that someone
attached a C.Plath arm with the drum to an SNO frame???

Alex.
