A sextant with the Index Arm spirit level is on eBay now. Not cheap but neat. The seller lists the Knorre’s level, a diagram, and instructions.
Neat sextant. Apparently with everything. Two extra alignment pins for the box top and a remote raising, or tightening(?), feature under the sextant handle.
With the level not set perpendicular to the index mirror and the instructions sort of mentioning the AH as an afterthought, I was having no luck understanding things - until this thread popped up.
