I wonder whether Freiberger factory still makes their sextants.
(I found no proof of this, searching on Internet).
Alex.
P.S. But Freibergers and SNO-T's in good condition can be still
found on e-bay, quite frequently.

Noch eine Frage Wolgang,
Haben Sie dieses Instrument direkt vom Konstrukteur Freiberger gekauft?
Gruss,
JPP

Jean,
Freiberger is still active making new sextants.
I have one made in 2009 (Serial No not at hand)
their website is somewhat hard to find,
here it is
http://www.fpm.de/lang_en/index.php?c=1&s=nautic
My specimen festures quite large instrument errors (likely most of it eccentricity) of up to +54" which I think is a bit much given the price of around 1000€.
Best
Wolfgang

You can still get new freibergers from authorised dealers, at least in Europe.
