This a 19th Century Octant Sextant by Spencer Barrett & Co. London. This piece has an ebony frame and brass instruments. I believe this piece is from 1840-1850.

T are 3 square sun shades and one does have a crack in it. The instrument has a 12" brass arm that moves across the instrument. It is excellent condition for it's age. T are a couple of hairline cracks across the back but nothing major. Please feel free to email me with any questions. I believe this piece to be very rare.
