Ike, I recommend the Freiberger's factory for replacement of the mirror and all other repairs of a Freiberger sextant. I visited them few years ago, with my SNO-T sextant; (which they call a Freiberger clone) they were friendly and co-operative. They have a web site with all coordinates, and I recommend just to call them. I also know a guy in Holland who apparently re-silvers mirrors, (and can give you his phone number) but why re-silver if you can get a new mirror from Freiberger?
