I have just been watching a documentary about the flight of the Graf Zeppelin around the world in 1929. I managed to capture this image http://www.pisces-press.com/images/sextant_on_Graf_Zeppelin.jpg of a sight being taken from the wheelhouse of the ship. I would welcome an identification of the sextant. It looks like a marine sextant with a bubble attachment. Thanks Geoffrey
