This Hampton Nautical premium quality Captain's Antique Brass Sextant 8" is a beautiful full-scale reproduction of the British Captain's 6-inch radius vernier readout brass nautical sextant. Each sextant is expertly crafted from antique brass and marked with a unique serial number. The sextant has an accurately divided German Silver scale, and a gear driven slow motion control for making small adjustments to the index arm. A powerful magnifier can be swung into position to assist in reading the vernier scale. The sextant's telescope has polished glass lenses and produces a sharp magnified image. The index mirror has three recessed adjustments. There are six tinted swing-arm filters with heavy antique brass filter mounts. On the back of the sextant is a hardwood handle with a thick antique brass plaque engraved "Hampton Nautical" and the unique serial number.
