I bough a GLH 130 used sextant from an Indian ship salvager on eBay for $300. It was in very good shape and seems very accurate. Infinitely better than my frustrating Davis plastic sextant that needed constant calibration. Looks exactly like an Astra IIIb. Celestaire web sight suggests this brand may have variable quality. Perhaps I was lucky.
