Enjoy it Al.
Mine (Heath Hezzanith three circle sextant of 1957) is an economy version compared to yours, but was the best sextant I could afford as a youth. I am the second owner, having purchased it from a deck officer who had come ashore. It is also the only one (of my three sextants) that I had to rely on absolutely without satelite support, as after 1984 I have always had Transit and then GPS on board. But it did the job admirably on small racing yachts and never let me down.
