WW2 German Compass NOT WORKING

This item is a World War II-era German compass, offered in non-working condition. Developed for use by German military personnel during the conflict, the compass was intended for navigation and orientation in various field operations. The casing is typically constructed from metal, exhibiting signs of age such as surface wear, minor corrosion, or finish loss, consistent with prolonged storage or field use. The dial and markings, generally in clear, legible print, reflect the design standards of the period and may bear German language text or standard military abbreviations. No functional movement should be expected from the compass needle or internal mechanism, as the item is identified as not operational. This example serves as a representative artifact of mid-20th-century German military equipment and may provide valuable reference for study or display within historical collections. No restoration attempts are apparent, and the compass is offered as found, retaining its original, unrestored state.
