Greg,
This is the problem already mentioned:
The difference between a manufacturer and a dealer.

I only posted this list as a "seed" from which a more
complete list can grow.

Anyway, I will appreciate if someone complements
my preliminary list (or supplies details about any
of those already in the list and about their sextants).

Especially I would be interested to see a list
of Tamaya clones, and American manufacturers.
