"Can anyone tell me where does this thread begins? I tried the custom index, entered the dates from 2000 to 2015 and obtained 7 messages, all titled Re: Troughton and Simms sextant. Where is the message without "Re" ?"

The original message from Norm was entitled "Troughton and Simms" and was posted in early January of this year. There were some replies under that subject title (including one from me and one from you, too!). After that someone (Bill Morris?) changed the subject slightly by adding the word "sextant". Nothing wrong with that, but that appears to be why you couldn't find the original message.

Here's a link to the custom search but using only the name "Troughton" in the subject:

Could be. My initial reaction to Norm's purchase was "Wow!". :)
