I saw a sextant pop up in a batch of stuff listed online that the seller said is a "Tamaya 1712" but knew nothing else about. Looks a little fishy in the photos to me. Does any see any give aways that I am missing that it is a knockoff? or has heard of a model 1712 as being a real one of Tamaya's models?
