ArtillaryMan Posted August 28, 2008 Share #1 Posted August 28, 2008 Hi. Not sure if this compass is an aircraft compass or not, but would like to ID it. The name plate is missing off the top. It is a vertical card, lighted 3" dial. Thanks in advance for looking. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMC_GAU-21 Posted November 9, 2009 Share #3 Posted November 9, 2009 Hi, What you have there is a Kollsman Radio Compass Indicator or Radio Magnetic Indicator (RMI). It appears to be late 1947 - 1950's because of the lighted bezel around the indicator. These were used in many different aircraft. But, it is an aviation instrument. Hope this helped. r/Gunny Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
