Simone977 Posted December 2, 2012 Share #1 Posted December 2, 2012 Hi guys this compass came from a little town, near gothic line, in italy. I don't know what is it and if it's a wartime object. I collect german items so i'd like to receive your opinions about this beautiful object. thanks in advance for your reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hbtcoveralls Posted December 3, 2012 Share #6 Posted December 3, 2012 D-12 compass used in heavy bombers in WWII, probably mediums too. On A B-17 this compass was on the Navigator's table. They're a nice displayable piece but not as rare as you might expect. Value in the 100-200 dollar range or less. Tom Bowers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northcoastaero Posted December 3, 2012 Share #7 Posted December 3, 2012 I believe garciaaviation.com sells a reprint WWII aircraft instrument cross-reference manual. It may not be on his website. You will have to call. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
