Micrometer sextant - Alloy - observator

Observer Rotterdam Micrometer Sextant – 1966 – original box & certificate – excellent condition Beautiful and exceptionally well-preserved Observer Rotterdam micrometer sextant from 1966, originating from the Dutch merchant marine. This sextant comes from a former navigator in the merchant navy and has actually served at sea and undertaken long voyages. A particularly nice detail of this history is the old Jakarta sticker on the original wooden transport case. It is therefore not an instrument that spent its entire life merely as decoration, but a genuine nautical sextant with a beautiful and tangible maritime past. The sextant is in excellent condition for its age and has been exceptionally well preserved. The instrument has been inspected, checked and tested by an expert. All adjustments operate smoothly and correctly, and the sextant is still perfect for actual navigation and astronomical positioning. Thus, it is not only a beautiful collectible but a fully functional nautical precision instrument, professionally checked, tested and ready for use. What is particularly notable is that the original Observer certificate is also present. It bears the same serial number 866033 as on the sextant, together with the original correction values and the date December 5, 1966. The certificate number is 17366. The sextant, original case and certificate thus form a nicely matched set. The sextant is supplied in the original wooden transport case, including the telescope, filters/shade glasses, accessories and the original certificate, as extensively shown in the photos. I have been selling and collecting second-hand nautical sextants for many years and pay a lot of attention to the technical condition of the instruments I offer. Therefore, the same applies to this sextant: not satisfied, money back, provided the instrument is returned in the same condition and undamaged. A particularly fine specimen for both the active navigator and the collector of historical nautical instruments. The combination of excellent condition for its age, full usability, the original certificate with a matching serial number, and its genuine merchant navy history makes this a particularly complete piece.
