| The fine tuning control allows precise small angular changes. The half-silvered mirror allows viewing the horizon and the celestial object simultaneously. Adjusting the fine tuning control causes these two images to converge and determines the angle between the celestial object and the horizon. The sextant is built solid and weighs 1 pound, 3 ounces (547 grams). |

The sextant is stamped "Stanley London 1885" and each sextant has a unique serial number.
These sextants can be engraved with your corporate name or logo on the hardwood case. The built-in magnifier assists in reading the angle from the vernier scale. While these sextants are fully functional, they are not calibrated nor intended for navigation. They are perfect for the collector or the beginner interested in learning celestial navigation. |
| A beautiful handcrafted hardwood storage and display box is included with the sextant. The corners of the box are inlaid with light colored hardwood splines and the interior is lined with felt. This is our most popular sextant, which used to sell for $185 without a box. The box is normally an additional $25. The 4-inch sextant with the storage / display box is now only $145. |
