I have Hughes Mate sextant with missing parts and lenses from the Galilean scope.
Looking at the Hughes, Husun, Hughes & Sons and Kelvin Hughes sextants, they all apppear to use the same Galilean scope designs and parts.
Can anyone familiar with these sextants tell me if they are the same design with the same thread and tube dimensions, especially the screw in filtered and unfiltered eye pieces?
I want to try and pick up the missing bits however I do want to be sure it will fit the Kelvin Hughes Mate sextant parts that i have?
