    Re: Pedigree of C Plath Sextant
    From: Robert Eno

    Keith,
    
    Aluminium frame and index arm suggests you may have a U-boat sextant. Is
    there a symbol on the index arm? Most of the U-boot sextants were adorned
    with a swastika and German eagle on the index arm. A lot of these old relics
    turn up with swastika scratched or ground out.  Can you send a photo?
    
    Robert
