Description

This is a very nice example of a Ball Recording Sextant Mark 1 Mos 0. This one is dated 1944 and comes in its original hinged wood box with original US Naval Observatory Certificate of Eccentricity, dated August 5th, 1944. We have tested the sextant for accuracy, but it appears to be in excellent complete condition. We want your items to arrive exactly as described, so we ship everything fully insured via FedEx or USPS Priority Mail with a signature required upon delivery. We’re happy to ship worldwide, but please keep in mind that international payments must be made via bank wire. It is also important to do your homework on local import laws, especially regarding knives; Nations Attic cannot be held responsible for shipping charges if customs denies delivery, and since we don’t offer refunds for customs issues, any rejected items will be consigned into a future sale. For a fast, accurate shipping quote before the auction starts, just email us your postal code and we’ll get you a quote.
