AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A parallel ruler is an essential navigation instrument used by cartographers and sailors on nautical charts. Thanks to the hinged arms, the two rulers can be moved apart while remaining exactly parallel to each other.
Must-have in a maritime collection.
Many photos added so the instrument can be assessed well.
Photos are part of the description.

The instrument is packaged very carefully, sent by registered mail and insured, with a track and trace code.
See also my other lots and possibly save on shipping costs.
Will not be shipped to the United States.
