Ger, is Bamberg the maker? If so is it Bamberg or Balmberg? And where did they produce from? Was it Nuernberg?

Hi Ben,
when you read the upper ring on the compas it says: manufactured by: Carl Bamberg, Berlin- Friedenau
a little info on these compasses can be found at the compasmuseum:
they were used in aircrafts and marine ships.
Compass Museum - Manufacturers Profiles
Bamberg was famous for his highly accurate compasses, which was a achiefment knowing how much steal a Ship or Uboot has...
Cheers,
Ger

important to know that the Zeppelins of the army and the marine flew till 1918 on magnetic compasses.
The electric powerdriven " Kreiselkompass" replaced the magnetic compass in 1918.
Kaiserliche Marine used to paint the upper ring red, to maark them as Marine property, and with a green " Kessel"
The Zeppelins used a chroom " Kessel", this one seems to has the chroom one.
