Freiberger Drum Sextant – Split View

A top of the range sextant, ideal for commercial sailing use. This is a traditional instrument helping you to navigate celestially and pinpoint your location.

It is a comfortable weight and size with excellent balance from it’s well designed light metal alloy frame.

The large horizon and index mirrors are tested for optical flatness and parallelism. The clamping device and micrometer drum are fully enclosed for protection against dirt and water spray.

The standard telescope 4×40 is adjustable for height and fitted with a protective rubbers eyepiece. The correct amount of brightness through the sextants optical light paths is controlled by means of swing in graded filters 4 for the index and 3 for the horizon mirrors.
