SOLD TUES 12-17 RARE 1944 GERMAN KRIEGSMARINE “EAGLE/M” NAZI NAVY C. PLATH HIGH GRADE SEXTANT IN TRANSIT CHEST, MATCHING WITH 1948 CUSTOMS PAPERS FROM KIEL!

In excellent fully functional condition we have a 1944 dated German Navy U Boat Sextant in a Kriegsmarine issue transit chest.  This  high grade Sextant was made by C. Plath, Hamburg and this is the genuine item.  This example is still in the matching chest which you rarely see with the original paperwork and a customs document indicating it came out of the German Naval base at Kiel in 1948.  This is considered to be the best sextant made in the world and they are still in use today by mariners.  This is one of the must have pieces of Kriegsmarine gear and they are avidly sought after not only by WW2 collectors but also by collectors of Nautical antiques. Plath is to Sextants what Ziess is to optics, representing the apex of quality.
