Solid Brass Sextant Key ChainProduct Description : Sextant key chain is the perfect gift for the nautical person in your life. The tiny brass sextant is fully functional. Its index arm moves, the scale is accurate given its small size, it has a half-silvered horizon mirror and a fully-silvered index mirror. The one-power telescope has a plain glass objective lens and swivels to either fold up for a compact size, or points toward the horizon mirror for use. The horizon mirror is adjustable via a small brass screw on the rear of the sextant, and the optics can be aligned so the sextant will yield a rough angle between two objects. This sextant key chain makes a great conversation piece, and an excellent tool for learning the basic operation of a nautical sextant. The sextant is crafted from solid brass, highly polished, and measures 2 inches (5.1 cm) tall, 1 7/8 inches (4.8 cm) wide, 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) deep. The sextant's radius is 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) and the sextant and key chain weigh 1.6 ounces (45 grams).
