    Description

    Original WW2 battleship compass in box with tags. Dated 1944 on compass. Two tags are included - one is an inspection tag dated 1945, the other is an instrument tag also dated 1945.
    Note the compass is filled with liquid - you can see the air bubble in photos. Also note the video I have included that shows the compass stays in the correct true position as I rotate the box.
    Box has wear and a chip on one lip of the top - see photo. Glass and compass itself are in great condition - please see photos.
    I tried to show everything I could - please let me know if you need to see anything else. I would be happy to send additional photos.
    Box is approximately 14" square and 8" high. Round metal frame that the compass sits in is approximately 12" in diameter. Compass itself inside the glass is approximately 7-1/2" in diameter. This is a heavy compass, weighing approximately 40 lbs.
