Hallo Werner,
The SOLD sextant interessiert mich sehr. Perhaps you could provide a brief history about the sextant. I wonder if it was used by, and/or developed for the Luftwaffe? I know that the Afrika Korp used Astrocompasses in N Africa. Perhaps this model of sextant also? Glaube nicht.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with this sextant. I'd love to know more this great sextant.
Tschüss
