Robert-
"it is not often that you see a polished
metal sextant. " Probably because it is greatly impractical. In the noon
sunlight, it would burn your hands (bare metal) and blind you from glare
spots.
The folks who say things on eBay like "must
use [irrevocable, untraceable] bank transfer because..." are usually afraid of
something. Like, getting caught. I figure anyone who wants Nazi memorabilia, is
a fair target for a rip-off. But then again, I'm also one of the folks who think
Patton should have been allowed to race the Russians for the rights to turn
Berlin into a parking lot before requiring the Germans to salt the earth
there.
