I've never seen one of these before. It's purportedly a British submarine periscope sextant. The auction finished on eBay this morning; winning bid was 160 pounds. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2520120537&r=0&t=0&indexURL=1#ebayphotohosting Markings visible in one photo appear to be: SOLAR SEXTANT FOR SUBMARINE PERISCOPE TYPE C.K.28/25 NO. G81/2 Anyone know how such a sextant works?
