Frederico,
I purchased one in the Canaries about 7 years ago, same time as I bought my
Cetus sextant. Mine has a white plastic case. It has only 5 bellows. (I
believe 7 is normal today). I see one on ebay today:

One things I noticed is that the metal is very "soft". The metal pins
supporting the axles are of a different metal to the supports. I have had
severe corrosion and have had to epoxy the pointed pins holding the
spindles in place. My boat is in Caribbean in a dry warm environment. So in
Northern climes this may be worse, You may not want to keep it aboard.
I notice in the picture I have attached that the baragraph paper is too
wide and has been folded over. I obtained the right size paper from Kelvin
Hughes in UK.
Aubrey.
