I bought a couple but must say,... 1-make sure you get both scopes 2-the seller's are not reliable [I consider myself lucky to have not lost money entirely or received an unusable sextant] 3-you'll wait a LONG time to receive your purchase 4-Ebay won't protect you. Period. 5-the instrument will be in poor repair when you receive it and will not be packaged properly, i.e. without insurance you're really hanging out there :-) But, 1-they are good sextants 2-they cost less HTH Mike Burkes wrote: > Hi folks, > > Can anyone attest to the quality of these Soviet Sextants and legitimacy > of seller?
