This is going to be so cool once I get it mounted on my Steampunk themed motorcycle I am building. Just needed some bling to step up the game.
I bought this as a piece to add to my Halloween costume this year - a post-apocalyptic steampunk treasure hunter / Cthulhu cultist. However, I don't know how to use a sextant, so I'm unsure if it is actually a working piece or not. And, since instructions did not come with it, I still don't know.

I needed something for my Steampunk Astronomer. The other sextants I found were too big and heavy. This is the perfect size for a character that wants this on hand but won't be reaching for it all the time. The parts are a bit stiff but still moveable. Good size though, noticeable but not overwhelming.
Links needed tightening and some of the moving parts are difficult to move. It does serve its purpose well, though, which is to look awesome hanging from my belt. I do not regret the purchase.
This keychain is ideal and authentic looking, but a little smaller than expected. It looks great hooked onto my utility belt. Canadians pay HST on pick up (Canada Post won't deliver if money is owed).

Wonderful little trinket. It will go great with my other steampunk accessories.

I bought this keychain for my boyfrind. It was just meant to be a trinket, and is definately worth it's price as that. As is stated, it is not meant to be a real sextant, and the mirrors weren't the best quality, but they're so tiny, it's barely notaceable. I thought it was absolutely adorable though, and am tempted to buy one for myself. :)

For the price you can't really complain. It isn't functional, and the telescope and mirrors were facing the wrong directions, but with a little screwdriver was able to remedy it. Very nice addition to a mini top hat. Though I think this keychain is hanging it upside down?

Beautiful little sextant, classy keychain. Mine's a bit "sticky" on the slide, but not too badly.

It looks the part, but isn't actually a functioning sextant - the horizon glass is just a small mirror.
