I am now the proud owner of a Troughton and Simms Pillar Sextant and would love to know how old it is. Any ideas?
Also, some of the numbers have been worn down. Is it advisable to find a skilled engraver to 'refresh' them?
Finally, how much 'cleaning up' should I do? I certainly don't want it shiny. I'd like it to look lovingly used.
