How can one resist? "The Sextant Exposed, the Shocking Details Revealed" Should get you on lots of lists.Looks very ... mid 20th century/Eastern European.. Its a strange-looking thing, although enclosing 'the works' may have been of some benefit in protecting them from impact and salt-spray damage?Bill asks (from his site):"I plan to incorporate an account of this sextant in the new, print edition of my book The Naked Nautical Sextant and Its Intimate Anatomy. I am told I should change the title for commercial reasons. Any suggestions?"I think its a great name; salaciously self-explanatory..
