This antique brass sextant component was crafted by Heath & Co. of London, one of the most respected makers of precision nautical instruments in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The piece features its original brass case lid clearly stamped Heath & Co., along with adjustment fittings, mirrors, and an interior conversion chart.
Though not complete, it remains a remarkable example of traditional maritime navigation equipment and a tangible link to the golden age of seafaring. With its authentic patina and original markings, this sextant is perfect for collectors, display, or as a conversation piece in any nautical setting.
