Well, George, you could spend a lot of money (for me if not for Brad)re-silvering the mirror, or you could make a new one yourself, using float mirror glass cut to size by your local glazier and finished off yourself. I use 3.8 mm glass. It is quite flat enough for the purpose.
See http://sextantbook.com/category/new-sextant-mirrors-for-old/ for details.
If you can't get mirror glass of about this thickness, contact me off list and I will see what I can do for the cost of postage.
