Product details: Sestrel station pointer | Henry Browne and Son | Station pointer | Navigation | Material: Steel
Without a doubt the worst station pointer in my collection. Not only is it lacking a vernier (or drum) fine setting, the plastic scale is of the type of plastic which warps over time. At some point I obtained another one that had been in the sun with the scale becoming completely unusable. This one is still decent but still not perfectly straight. Apart from that it is hard to read and has yellowed over the years. Given the choice I prefer the Davis plastic one over this although both have their merits; the Davis being more accurate whereas this one has clamps to keep the arms fixed.
