We have constructed a test polarimeter of thick (2 mm) double-sided silicon strip detectors. The capabilities of the detector have been measured in the lab using 122 keV gamma-rays, which were polarized by scattering in a silicon trigger detector. We present the results of these measurements with a comparison to a GEANT4 simulation.
