Black Deacon Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 Someone in another thead I can longer find was looking for a good source for a spyglass or sextant. I located these lads.

Desert Pyrate Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 I had no idea that working, calibrated sextants were so pricey. I'd love to have one though. Luckily, I think the school has one (we do a sextant lab at some point)
El Pirata Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 Glad the army "donated " my sextant. Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left.

BILLY BONES Posted January 31, 2004 Posted January 31, 2004 I have ordered many of the same sextants and telescopes for several films I've worked on, but I got them from a house called Merz & Co. As I recall, they were out of New Jersey and were much more reasonable. I have yet to find a website for them, and I'm away from my phonebook at present. If I can get more info, I'll pass it along. Regards Capt. William Bones Then he rapped on the door with a bit of stick like a handspike that he carried, and when my father appeared, called roughly for a glass of rum. This, when it was brought to him, he drank slowly, like a connoisseur, lingering on the taste, and still looking about him at the cliffs and up at our signboard. "This is a handy cove," says he, at length; " and a pleasant sittyated grog-shop. Much company, mate?" My father told him no, very little company, the more was the pity. "Well, then," said he, "this is the berth for me." Proprietor of Flags of Fortune.
