WW II era APN's are climbing in asking price (ww II collectors, I
assume) although I just saw a 60's edition of APN offered for $25.
Check www.bibliocity.com periodically for opportunities.

Also, check www.ebay.com - there are usually 15-20 sextant offerings.
Closing prices, notably on Astras are not always bargains but a little
patience should yield an good unit at an equitable price. And anyone
obsessed with owning an aircraft sextant will find units, too.
