British Air Ministry Pattern

Of the smaller size sextants, it is the Very Best!

PRESENTED is another gem of a micro-mini tiny sextant that has full

size mirrors and shades, full size micrometer drum of a regular size sextant, but that has a radius of

arc of only 3 1/2 inches. The only thing of less performance is the low powered telescope which is minor. It is only the 3rd

one we’ve discovered in this remarkably fine condition. The brass frame is finished in midnight black wrinkle enamel which

is like new. The scale has a silver inlay that is graduated from – 10 to 120 degrees. The index arm has a quick release

trigger and vernier which reads to 1 arc minute. There are four index shades and three horizon shades. The fittings maintain

their original varnish which has a pleasing age patina. Every thing is designed to make this instrument perform like a full

size sextant.
