Hello All,
First post here so please excuse if I use the wrong terminology or something silly :)
I have been granted possesion of a sextant, inscribed as "H.Hughes & Sons Ltd, 59 Fenchurch St. London"
Another marking just says "8117". Whether this is a model number or serial number possibly?
Any information would be most gratefully received.
Best Regard.
Adrian..
