Hi,
If you are willing to go as far as in Europe, you may try Navastro (in Toulouse, France). They are serious people and provide a workshop service that can re-silver or re-aluminate your old mirrors or cut new ones if you provide the dimensions.
Your sextant being of french origin they should know its features.
The manager is a very nice guy called Philippe Posth.

Hi, I own a sextant that need new mirrors.
It is a Lorieux, Le Petit Poulain no: 9277
I used it years ago when going around the world, unfortunately both mirrors need replacement. Do you have any ideas where I might find new ones?
Thanks,
Marc Gounard
