The specialist needs more information

Hi Jenny,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
This probably has the manufacturer's name on it somewhere (possibly on the part where the measurements are) - can you confirm?
Is it possible to get a photo taken from slightly farther away that shows the entire sextant in the box, as well as a photo of the box (both open and closed)?

Thanks!
Delia
