Yuriy Magorsky (maurnavy) is the guy who sold me my SNO-T. This was a direct purchase, not e-bay. He ships from Kharkov (Ukraine). I am satisfied with the sextant; the box of the sextant was damaged during the shipping, but there was enough foam inside, so the sextant was apparently not damaged. Shipping and money transfer are expensive but reasonably quick (I received my parcel within a week or so). Caution: what you see on his pictures are "generic items", this does not necessarily coincide with what he actually has as the moment. You have to ask him by e-mail what he has for sale. His English is not perfect, as you can see from his website. I negotiated with him in Russian. Alex. P.S. Disclaimer: please do not blame me if something goes wrong. Two days ago I could say, based on my experience, that "tuchkan" is a realible seller. And now we have this "forged Kriegsmarine C. Plath story". A.
