Here is one for sale, same manufacturer, but a version without telescope (and as a result, a different configuration of mirrors). Index adjusting tool is missing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1561081307/antique-pocket-drum-sextant-troughton?show_sold_out_detail=1&ref=nla_listing_details The pictures are much better than those I could make.
I have to say that I rarely used telescope from a boat: it is too small and inconvenient. Peep hole with which the sextant is also provided is more convenient to use.
