Dear Frank J., Your message contains a lot of interesting information, besides the mirror story. What is "Original Equipment Manufacturer"? What "metal sextant" did you send to them? Your message makes an impression that they can make or alter a sextant on your request. Do they have special equipment for testing sextants? You also mention back-sights... I've never heard of a sextant equiped for taking back sights since the beginning of XIX century! Could you tell us more about your sextant and OEM? Alex
