Just type SNO-T into eBay. All his sextants are photographed inside the open yellow box. He says he brings them from Russia disassembled. I am trying to get from him why.

Please give me a link, I have not seen them.
If they messed with the mirrors, apparently without knowledge of what

e-bay with no signs of incorrect handling.
