$1999.99

You are offerding on aSUPERB and BOXED example of an ImperialJapanese Navy Type 92 Model2 Magnetic Compass, as used in various Japanesefighters such as the Mitsubishi A6M "Zero", J1N "Irving", B5N "Kate", B7A "Grace",Kikka (Japanese version of Germany's Me262 Jet), Ohka Kamikaze Rocket, and others!

This instrument indicated the current direction of the aircraft and pointed to magnetic north.It was located on the main instrument panel, and was used in mostearlyto mid-war fighters.

Made of brass and aluminum by Yokogawa Electric, this instrument isinEXCELLENT unused condition! It was brought back by a US Serviceman after the war, and it still retains 95% of it's original finish! Some slight marks and scratches in some areas, but nothing that takes away from the overall appearance. Most of the original fluid still remains, and it is 100% functional (still points magnetic North)! The data plate is a mid-war Type 4 aluminum plate. The front panel unscrews to reveal the original Japanese Navy issue light bulb (used for illuminating the compass dial), which is prominently marked with the Navy Anchor. As with most of these types of compasses, the rubber adjustment knob is cracked, but still quite solid. It ALSO includes the VERY RARE power cable, and comes COMPLETE in the original transport/storage box!

Like most Japanese instruments, this gauge is VERY RARE andwould be aFANTASTIC addition to any Japanese Instrument Collection!

------------------- ABOUT ME -----------------

Although my passion is the Me109, I do offer many other German Aircraft (Fw190, Me262, etc.), as well as USAF and Japanese items. Occasionally I do offer many non-vintage items such as prints and art relating to the time period. As a private collector myself, I am constantly on the lookout for historical memorabilia, authentic photographs, artwork or anything unique relating to military aircraft.
