Hi Guys, posting these pics for a friend of mine.
He was told it might be off a sub?
I have no idea about items such as this, so any info, tag details etc, would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Ade.

Hi Adrian-san,
What your friend has is an IJN magnetic compass. Great item there!!!
It might came from any ship, or may be even used on bombers, flying boats.

Always a little further : it may be

Across that angry or that glimmering sea...
That is a real nice naval piece.
