Paul, I did not understand some details of the story: > It > took ages to arrive, then I got a very stern letter So it arrived? Or it took ages to arrive to Rotterdam? > They quarantined the container and the only way I could get the sextant > was to get a museum to obtain an exception certificate. Have you tried to obtain one? > Quite apart from the cost that means another old sextant is gone! From which I conclude that you decided not to bother with the certificate, correct? Alex.
