I purchased a new C&P some years ago.  It is beautifully made and sufficient
for my practical navigation purposes.  I also have a C&P bubble horizon
which fits the sextant. At the time I thought it was a bargain for the
quality and workmanship and I wanted to buy one before production was
outsourced to China or the firm went out of business.  With the dollar now
about half what it was back then I'm glad I did.

I enjoy using a beautiful instrument and working out my sights from first
principles. If I did not I would buy a gps for a fraction of the cost and
trouble.
