Hello NavList!
Looking at various Tamaya sextants over the years, I notice that the MS-733 Spica used to include a metal shade above the horizon mirror prior to the 1980's... it still appears on the MS-L series.
The manuals do not address this item, can anyone share any details on correct description and function of this part?
