The sextant is stamped "U.S. Navy, BU. NAV., MARK II 6621-1943". It is also stamped "David White Co. Milwaukee, Wis." Has a Certificate of Inspection from the U.S. Naval Observatory dated 1/27/1944. See photo. I will be selling other nautical / maritime items over the next weeks and months. Thanks for looking and p lease ask any questions prior to bidding.
