AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Authentic and heavy antique copper/brass ship's compass from the renowned brand Sestrel (Trade Mark Sestrel, serial number A1550).
This beautiful maritime liquid-filled compass is mounted in its original gimbal ring, ensuring the compass housing always stays level.
A superb piece of nautical history and a showpiece for the connoisseur of antique nautical instruments, collectors, or as decor in a stylish interior.
The compass rose does not rotate properly and hangs slightly crooked.
The compass has a diameter of 21 cm. The gimbal ring has a diameter of 24.5 cm.
Photos are part of the description.
The compass will be very well packed, insured, and sent by registered mail with a tracking code.

Not shipped to the United States.
