I know of the Small Craft Precision Sextant (a boxsextant) produced by the british firm Francis Barker & Son at the end of the 1980's. I've seen the sextant in two types: a dark-grey og a beige version. Normally the sextants are in a small leather case. Today the firm Francis Barker has been taken over by Pyser-SGI Limited, and they don't produce the sextant anymore (I've been in contact with the firm). I'm interested in buying a couple of these specific instruments from Francis Barker and from the 1980's, but they seem quite difficult to find on the net. Could anyone help me with a name/adress of a dealer? You can see a photo of this specific sextant on: http://www.gilai.com/scripts/more/sni664-navigational-Navigational+Instruments-no.html /Jesper (www.geomat.dk) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to NavList@fer3.com To , send email to NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
