Hi all,
I've just bought a box sextant from eBay. The pouch is stamped "J-CLASS SOCIETY" and it seems to be a genuine metal piece (of a 50's/60's/70's/80's vintage?). I cannot see any other markings and have not managed to get any info on the web, nor in Bill Morris' website "The Nautical Sextant". Can anyone here help me identify the brand and the model of this sextant?
The listing is here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/206280185571
Cheers,
