Is that the sextant that's similar to the "life-boat" sextant? It's pretty simple if the web pictures are correct.
Is there a telescope or just a sight tube?
Doesn't it feel good to have a simple sextant that's not so darn delicate?!
Good day!

Seems similar, yes.
This one came with a telescope. Its interchangeable with the Davis eye piece.
Seems like a pretty good practice device or emergency back up. My first sights worked out well.
Honestly, the only thing I dislike is the manual it comes with, which lacks a lot of detail on the sextant itself. If you already know how the drum is graduated etc, from using other sextants, no problem otherwise you have to figure it out.
I used to be a normal person, then I discovered how to locate myself on this planet using a star.
