Item Description  

Here is a nice vintage nautical compass for your buying consideration.  Would make a great gift or keep for yourself!

Beautiful nickel plated case and nice looking face on this compass.  This is an ARMA, Mark V, Model 8 Repeater Compass.  This is not a magnetic compass, but some sort of mechanical/gyro one.  This compass was most likely used to handle fire control of weapons on larger ships, see further description below.  

The glass is intact on the top of the case. Not an operating compass as other mechanical parts and wiring not here.

The compass rose dial still has good detailing on it.  The compass rose is just a little over 7" across. 

This compass was made by the ARMA Corporation of Brooklyn, NY.  There is also a metal plate on the side of of the compass that says, US Navy Bureau of Ships on it.  Also says Gyro Compass on this plate and another number assigned to the piece.  The metal plate on the sis also has a serial number, contract no and inspection number incised onto this plate as well.  Serial number is 58626.The compass was probably made in the 1940s and is of WWII vintage.

Some finish loss to the case.  No dents, dings. or repairs.  Some information about this Gyro Compass from an internet site;

The Arma Mark 8 gyro compass, was used on all large U.S. warships, Battleships, Crusiers, Aircraft Carriers, etc. That version included an extra feedback amplifier to stabilize the outer gimbal, and output switching options for a backup gyro to be installed,. These were the most accurate gyros of the war and were essential to long range fire control.

This Vintage Compass is 4.75" tall, by 9.75" across by the top and 10" by the bottom plate. .
