Vintage Tamaya MS-733 micrometer marine sextant with original fitted hard case, inspection certificate, 4x40 Tamaya coated telescope, and visible accessories shown in the photos.
The inspection certificate identifies this as a Tamaya Micrometer Marine Sextant, Model MS-733, Serial No. 42901. Dated June 30, 1983. The case label also shows Tamaya & Company Limited, Tokyo, Japan, with serial number 042902 and date marking that appears to indicate 8/84.
This is a quality Japanese marine navigation sextant, often referred to as the Tamaya Spica MS-733. It appears to be complete with case, certificate, telescope, shades, and accessory compartment items shown.
Condition Note:
Good vintage condition overall with its age, light handling wear, dust, scuffs, light scratches, small finish chips, and some tarnish/discoloration on the arc. Case has exterior wear and interior dust.
Some of the accessories or similar item appears to be missing from the fitted accessory compartment.
Mirrors, lenses, shades, and telescope are present as shown, but I have not personally tested or calibrated the sextant. The previous owner reportedly used it for sailing until a couple of years ago, but it is being sold as untested by current seller.
Sold as a collectible / maritime navigation instrument / display piece. Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description.
