Love it, Greg. Could you post some other views so that we can see the mirror adjustments, bubble mounting and micrometer. This model was obviously made with care and love. You even include a vernier. Good on ya.
Attached is my own 'theatrical' sextant that I use when describing celestial navigation on stage to civilians. It's funny, but actually serves well to illustrate just WHAT angle we're measuring. By pointing it at a overhead stage light, then marching across the stage and taking another sighting, the audience can imagine that the angles are related to my position on the stage.
