I've seen that site. Nice, but the prices seem a bit high.

Re Heath Vernier Sextant – have a look from time to time at Fleaglass.com – always a good spot for old sextants, artificial horizons and indeed some other interesting stuff.

Ridge,
Even though I am beginning to get the hang of using it, I will probably always opt for a micrometer drum sextant. However, it was a gift, so it is not for sale. Unfortunately I do not know of anyone willing to sell one (or anyone else who has one, for that matter). Ah, there is one on eBay right now!
