Not too late my friend. Check out Robert E. White & Sons of Boston, MA. I 
don't have the URL handy but if you do a google on them you will find the 
connection. This firm still deals with used sextants of high quality. I 
bought my C.Plath from them quite a few years ago and never regretted it. You 
will, however, end up paying big bucks as even the used ones fetch a high 
price due to their lasting quality.

Robert responds:

Here I have to be honest: I have not heard this before. I can only go on the 
Cassens and Plath that I owned 15 years ago and which I felt was superb in 
terms of quality and workmanship. In looking at the C&P's in the catalogues, 
they appear to have remained the same. As a bonus, the individual components 
are, for the most part, compatible with their C.Plath cousin.

I am hoping Ken Gebhart will weigh into this thread as he carries C&P in his inventory.

Robert
