Greg,
That is a rather interesting collection. Quite some variety.
I never intended to have a number of sextants but over the years the occasional sextant has popped up in ones sights at the right time and price which made it difficult to refuse. As a result I have a few more than I need but that be the way of things.
We are having some beautiful weather here giving me plenty of opportunity to get to know the Astra IIIB, not quite on first name terms yet, but getting there.
Take it easy.
