Robert Gainer asked, about the Plastimo version of the Ebbco plastic sextant-With that information, I found this; http://plastimo.com/catalogue/article.php?listnom=Navigation%7CAntares%20se xtant&LangID=1&ref=21001& It looks like the same sextant; do you happen to know if it is the same or just a copy of the original?============== Reply from George- It was behind glass in a display case, so I couldn't check for details. But as near as I could tell the Plastimo version was identical to the Ebbco; not just a likeness of it. ================================================================ contact George Huxtable by email at george@huxtable.u-net.com, by phone at 01865 820222 (from outside UK, +44 1865 820222), or by mail at 1 Sandy Lane, Southmoor, Abingdon, Oxon OX13 5HX, UK. ================================================================
