George,
With that information, I found this;
http://plastimo.com/catalogue/article.php?listnom=Navigation%7CAntares%20sextant&LangID=1&ref=21001&

It looks like the same sextant; do you happen to know if it is the same or
just a copy of the original? Thank you for the correction on the name also,
I need to make a note of that name. I keep making the same mistake and I
have been told before that I am wrong about that. I my not learn much, but
when I learn it, the information sticks even if I learn it wrong.
Robert Gainer
