Dear friends hello.
Here is the sextan of pocket English, that I took(brought) out in search(excavation) in 1985 (22 years ago), in the dunes of the sector of the Dunkerque.
He(It) is exceptionally very well kept(preserved), (taken(brought) out in the sand of dunes, lid and trapdoor with lens closed, manufacturing completes).

Sight of the closed sextan lid


Sight of the boitier and the opened lid

Sight of the table of convertion of the tangents


Sight of the deck, and its knurl of regulation, its magnifying glass of reading on articulated arm and its key of fine regulation in its opening of transport



Sight of the opening of aim in three position: " big person(main part) pierces, for den to eloignier, small pierce, for "close" den, green lens tres bored to review with the sun.


Sight of the key of fine regulation in the opening of regulation of the adaptation

Sight of the key of fine regulation in the opening of regulation of azimute


Sight of the lenses of color taken(brought) out of the accommodation(housing) of transport


For his(her,its) restoration the games(sets) of miroire were replaced, because too much pricked by the humidity.
