Antique Ww1 Era Dollond London Marching Compass Cased, Original C1917

 

ANTIQUE WW1 ERA DOLLOND LONDON MARCHING COMPASS CASED, original c1917.

A correct, early Dollond London, (good quality instrument suppliers), oil filled compass. It functions when placed on a flat surface but has a bubble in the
oil that impedes it working well while walking. It has a nice quality leather carrying case that it fits into snugly, with initials to the very back of the case.
The compass has some wear to the finish and minimally grubby within the glass (would benefit from a clean under the glass),
but overall holds a nice original patina, the external ring turning freely and all parts moving freely as they should, but not loose, a lovely quality instrument, with no major damage.
