    Re: Bygrave on ebay

    I looked into the serial number issue. No problem. There were several pre-sale test versions. They never saw "action"
    If any Navlist member is genually interested, contact me direct. Ebay been very difficult and obstructive and I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN.

    Hi guys. Its me, Francis Upchurch.Long term Navlist member. The slide rules and sextant are mine.
    Incurable, progessive illness and the financial chaos that is UK force me to sell at highest price I can get., which I hesitated to do with Navlist .Dont worry about the quality of the Bygrave. You will not easily find better. Ive seen several and this is the best. Gary LaPooke and I did a re-enactment of Chichesters crazy Norfolk Island flight a few years ago with identical perfect results.Do call if you want to discuss.I've got watts app for video conference if that helps.
    Let me know if interested.
    Best to all

    Bob Crawley you wrote:  A very nice Bygrave has appeared on ebay in the UK along with a Fuller and an Astra Sextant. Were circumstances different I'd have snapped up the Bygrave but I suspect others may be interested.

    It does like nice, almost too nice.  I'm a bit worried about the end label.  The two earliest Bygraves which I've seen had the actual number inked onto the 'Number' box.  What do others think?  Nevertheless, It might well go for more than the statring price.  It's amazing the number slide rule collectors there are out there if not celestal enthusiasts.  DaveP

    What is NavList?

    NavList is a community devoted to the preservation and practice of celestial navigation and other methods of traditional position-finding. We're a group of navigators, navigation enthusiasts and hobbyists, mathematicians and physicists, and historians interested in all aspects of navigation but primarily those techniques which are non-electronic.

    To post a message, if you are already signed up as a NavList member, start a new discussion or reply to any posted message and use your posting code (this is a simple low-security password assigned when you join). You may also join by posting. Your first on-topic messsage automatically makes you a member, and a posting code will be assigned and emailed to you for future posts.

    Uniquely, the NavList message boards also permit full interaction entirely by email. You can optionally receive individual posts or daily digests by email, and any member can post messages by email (bypassing the web site) by sending to our posting address which is "NavList@NavList.net". This functionality is similar to a traditional Internet mailing list: post by email, read by email, reply by email. Most members will prefer the web interface here for posting and replying to messages.

    NavList is more than an online community... more about that another day.
