Kriegsmarine sextant in box

[axion9]

Hi guys!
not my area so I would like your opninion on this sextant.
everything looks in order? Anything missing? Possible to tell year of manufacturing?
Also what would be a fair price if I try to get hold of it?
Thanks!
regards Johan

Dear Andy,
are you sure that your sextant was from the Kriegsmarine? It looks very much like a sextant used by the Swedish navy. The Swastika on the certificate is not important. All authority stamps in the 3rd reich had them.
I am not an expert in sextants, but I have noticed that the Kriegsmarine sextant I have seen has a special frame. Like on the sextant from axion9. I don't know if they all had this frame, but perhaps someone on the forum can inform us.
