My 1980 733 Tamaya came from a Master who purchased it from a mate waaay back. There is glue on the box and I have always been sure it had held a name tag. Today there is a Tamaya MS733 on epay that had been "presented" to Russell Keltner. The sextant serial number differs from mine by 11 digits. Both are dated November 29, 1980. Russell is nowhere to be found. Who presented these fine instruments to the lucky first owners 35 years ago?
