You are bidding on a VERY NICE WW2 German Luftwaffe Navigational Sextant / Oktant, Fl. 23750, as used in many bombers and transports throughout WW2! The Luftwaffe Oktant was used by aircrews for long range flights. It provided accurate reading, using sidereal (star) navigation. Made of aluminum and steel, this is a SUPERB German Oktant in all original condition with its original box (box is damage). Manufactured by C. P...lath of Hamburg, it features the original Fl. label, and clearly indicates, Fl. 23750. The instrument dates later in the war, probably between 1943 and 1945. Some slight marks and scratches, but nothing that takes away from the overall appearance. It measures approx. 11.5" in length, and comes complete in the original box! Also included are 4 extra light bulbs, an eye piece, and small parts. The only downfall is that the holder for the battery is damaged (see last photos). Otherwise, no breaks, cracks, or damage. I suspect it is fully operational, due to its condition, but as I am not sure if it works electrically, as I have not tested it. I will leave the functionality determination to the winning bidder. I have shown this EXACT type in use in the last photos. Would make a FANTASTIC addition to any collection, or display! Please email me if you need additional photos or information. ------------------- PAYMENT ----------------- Payment should be made within 7 business days at the end of the auction unless buyer contacts me for other arrangements.

All sales are final, so please make sure your questions are answered to your satisfaction before you purchase. ------------------- ABOUT ME ----------------- Although my passion is the Me109, I do offer many other German Aircraft (Fw190, Me262, etc.), as well as USAF and Japanese items. Occasionally I do offer many non-vintage items such as prints and art relating to the time period. As a private collector myself, I am constantly on the lookout for historical memorabilia, authentic photographs, artwork or anything unique relating to military aircraft. If you are looking for anything specific and cannot locate it, feel free to contact me as I probably have it or at the very least, a contact who does! ------------------- COPYRIGHT ----------------- All pictures and descriptions used in my auctions under COPYRIGHT and I forbid the use of these photos and information in any manner such as paper or electronic (internet) publications or otherwise.
