Kris Its serial number puts the date of manufacture towards the end of 1944/beginning 1945, no later than March 1945. Hughes and Son sextant serial numbers climbed by 26,000 during the Second World War. Greg's suggestion is a good one, but I suspect navigating officers each had their own instruments.
