An antique liquid-filled compass hanging in a Cardan ring. The compass has a diameter of 13.3 cm. Made by the well-known Dutch manufacturer Observator.
The compass hangs in a nice wooden box.
Many photos added so the condition of the compass and box can be assessed well.

The compass will be very well packaged, insured and registered for shipping with a track and trace code.
