Hi Frank ~~
Thanks for your informative reply!
I wish I knew where one measures a sextant to find its size. If I did, I could figure out what percentage the small one is of a full-size sextant. What I did measure was from tip to tip of the scale. The full size Tamaya is 9 3/8", the International is 7 inches exactly.
The International currently 'feels' better than the full size Tamaya -- that one truly needs help.
Thanks again!
