> Did it come with "tools" and spare mirror - "new" ones generally do
Yes.
> Which tools were included (picture would be informative)
There are all the tools that have came with th sextant. Nothing missing
>Try moving the index arc - sole of the unused SNO-Ts have grease set
up to the point where the arc can't be released.
I don't quite understand what do you mean, but the index arm "jams" around 60 degrees, before you move it.
> Take a look at the lens in the low power telescope to see if there is
any "crazing" in the optics - most will show some - it is not a big
deal in terms of optical quality and it can be (reasonably) easily
fixed.
I don't know what do you mean here. Both the optics looks very fine both the outlook and the lenses.
> Does it have a vernier scale on the micrometer - very few did - its
not a big deal if it does not, but it is a cool feature to have.
No, but there is a magnifier glass to help the reading
