I've never seen one of these before. It's purportedly a British
submarine periscope sextant. The auction finished on eBay this
morning; winning bid was 160 pounds.

Markings visible in one photo appear to be:
SOLAR SEXTANT FOR SUBMARINE PERISCOPE
TYPE C.K.28/25 NO. G81/2
Anyone know how such a sextant works?
