You might want to send us a pic of somethiing you wish to buy before you do so. Both of those are useless, either unuseable reproductions fashioned in India or mistreated sextants

like this https://www.amazon.com/Collectibles-Buy-Nautical-Working-Collectible/dp/B01K9ZN5YI
and this https://www.amazon.com/Maritime-Nautical-Telescopes-Astrolabe-Instruments/dp/B0CTF7P4LS
Should I stear away from such things and focus on an actual Hughes and Son?
