Hello, and thanks for thinking of us. We have, at present, an octant, a
quadrant, and a whole whack of sextants, but tell me a little more,
particularly anything you know about its dates, maker, place of use etc.
I think I would be inclined to say thanks but no thanks unless it had
exceptional associative or historical value.
The octant we already have is quite fine, ebony with the scales of inset
ivory.
Regards,
John Summers
