ANTIQUE SEXTANTS, OCTANTS & NAVIGATION INSTRUMENTS by Land And Sea Collection™

FINE QUALITY ANTIQUE SEXTANTS, OCTANTS & NAVIGATION INSTRUMENTS

Shown below are examples of rare navigation instruments of the highest quality which will appeal to the most discriminating collector. We specialize in only the finest antique and early examples whose history and features are carefully explained.

At the top of the list are instruments from the English and European makers such as Hadley, Rasmussen, all the Spencers, Troughton, Filby, and C. Plath combined with American makers such as Stackpole, Thaxter, Lincoln, Negus, and many others.

QUALIFICATIONS: We are one of the few company's still selling navigation instruments that know anything about them. For purposes of judging whether Joel's opinion counts, he was the editor of the chapter on sextants of the 1977 Edition of "Bowditch", The American Practical Navigator, NAVPUB 9; a member of the U.S. Naval Academy Navigation Symposium Board, 1975 -1978; the author of a book on marine sextants, Cornell Maritime Press,1975, and the founding president of Nautech Maritime Corporation which partnered with Tamaya of Japan in the introduction of the MS 733 Spica, the MS 833, Jupiter, MS 933 Venus sextants and the famous NC-2 navigation computer, in the U.S. market. Joel is also a retired Master Mariner, and held a U.S. Navy "D" Qualification as a Senior Skipper - Oceans. From 1995 through 2000, he served as a Varsity Offshore Sailing Team coach at the U.S. Naval Academy.

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED: All our sextants come with a money back guarantee, and can be returned within five days of receipt if not completely satisfied. The only conditions are that an email authorization be obtained, and that it be returned in its original condition and packaging, and be insured for its full value. Unfortunately, shipping charges are not included in this offer and are not refundable unless we made an error.
