        Perhaps not on the communications forum, better post it on the Kriegsmarine forum.

        Here is a similar one stating it might be from a Schnellboot: http://www.pastbuy.net/objekt.php?mo...age=3&id=39660

        Here is some more information on the complete compass assembly used on the Schnellboot: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/28...d-restoration/

        I am not sure if it is exactly the same compass but there are Kriegsmarine equipment collectors out there that will know....

        regards,

          Date would be 1938. As far as I know that was the only year the german navy used a gothic M under the eagles.
          Ships of may sizes used these compasses. Be carefull not to store it in a too hot place. The liquid inside can turn white, like milk.
          Mine was, unfortunately.
