Hello!
Just seen few scenes from the Norwegian 2019 film "Amundsen".
There are several scenes with sextants.
I suspect the actual sextant shown is fake: it is the drum-sextant, it has the sight tube as a half-binocular, i.e. it looks too "tamaya"ish to be used in 1911.
Am I wrong?
Warm regards,
Tony
