James,
Yes, I would look for a distributor for them.
Cassens & Plath "find a distributor" here- http://www.nauticexpo.com/prod/cassens-p...50596.html
Freiberger- http://www.seachest.co.uk/sextants-freib...and-davis/
More than likely I would buy on-line unless the store where they are sold is close. You can always return them. Most sextant models have been made many thousands of times so a lot of the bad features have been removed and modified. Sextants aren't the lightest instruments to keep raised to the eye and getting accustomed to handling one does take some time. Love conquers many problems and owning your first sextant and enjoying the art of the process, and science, will help you overcome any obstacle.
Clear skies!
