Sextant Sizes Sextants  are measured from pivot of arm to dial or by the size of the arc. The reason this is very important is if you see a size listed as 6in for example and no other measurements, most likely it is a 5in sextant with a 6in measurement across the frame. This makes you think you are buying a 6in when in fact you are only getting a 5in. We list both measurements. Reproductions Reproductions are handmade copies of an antique, never perfect, but for those that like the look of years gone buy and are unable to get a genuine antique. If the word Working is in the title, this means the maker of the sextant says it is ready for final adjustments and calibration. We do not sell sextants as calibrated as We believe everyone should be able to calibrate their sextant, or what are they going to do if it gets dropped, bumped, or other misuse, or if it just needs to be checked for accuracy.
