Antique Brass Artillery Quadrant
Not marked with any name
This a very heavy brass piece
These quadrants were essential tools for artillery officers and navigators in the past, allowing them to determine the elevation angle of cannons or the altitude of celestial objects. They played a crucial role in military operations, particularly before the widespread use of modern artillery and navigational equipment.
Antique brass artillery quadrants are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of military history or antique scientific instruments. They not only represent the technological advancements of their time but also hold significant historical value. Each quadrant may bear unique markings, engravings, or manufacturer stamps, adding to its individual story and provenance.
I believe the long arm would be placed in the cannon head, then reading, then firing.
