Description
Before GPS, knowing exactly where you were took real skill and the right equipment. The alidade was what surveyors, mapmakers, and navigators relied on: you’d line it up through a telescope, match it to your map, and get a precise fix on your location. This solid brass replica has a satisfying weight to it, the kind that tells you straight away it’s well made. It looks great on a desk, whether you’ve got maps and compasses around it or it’s just sitting there on its own. Great for anyone who loves the story behind a well-made object.
