Frank,
I could not find that listing, even under sold items, but searching for SightTime I found this:
http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/astra-iiib-marine-sextant-excellent-condition
It show eBay as the source, but it is apparently not the one my student has, because this one also has the prism level attachment, which is visible in the photo but not mentioned in the text.
Anyway, I heard from my student, who said the person she bought it from got it new in 1997, and the serial number does not match.

Stan, You wrote: "The sextant was purchase second hand with the timer"
I could only find one reference to that "SighTime" attachment in an old eBay listing. Maybe this is the very same instrument that your student purchased. This may not have turned up in your earlier searches, since it was spelled with an extra "t":
"Astra IIIB Sextant in like new condition.....new in 1994 it was never used. It comes with a SightTime model 911 digital watch that attaches to the sextant for accurate time shots."
