For a project, I am looking out for a Vernier metal sextant (NOT a micrometer sextant, NOT a plastic sextant, NOT a wooden octant) in working order, immediately available in UK, to borrow until mid-October or to purchase. Not looking for a historical instrument or museum-piece, just a workaday sextant. But it must have its scale fully readable, not tarnished or polished away. And its shades intact, and all bits and pieces such as a lens for reading the scale. In its box. Suitable for real use at sea. Anmy ideas, anyone?
