Antique 19th Century Pocket compass

Antique 19th century field compass in wooden case

This compass was made in Germany and was used to navigate at sea.

It would still be the ideal piece to bring on a hiking or bushcraft trip but would also be a cool decor piece displayed in a collection or cabinet of curiosities!

After more than a century the compass still remains in good condition and only shows minor signs of use. Over the years it acquired a nice patina that only adds charm to it.
The wooden case shows some old wood worm holes, they are not active anymore.
