The frame looks exactly like a frame of an old Soviet SN or SNO-M sextant. (These old Soviet sextants were probably modeled on C Plath, but I've never seen a C. Plath with exactly this shape of frame). Where does the arm come from I could not determine. The scope is obviously not from this sextant (as many people noticed). And they seem to have painted the teeth of the arc(!) Alex > Check this eBay listing and let's see who can say > what's wrong with this > sextant. > > Joel Jacobs
