Description
A Suunto Type K-12 liquid-damped marine or vehicle steering compass, manufactured in Finland. The instrument features a black compass card with white graduations in degrees from 0 to 360, with numerical markings every 30 degrees. Cardinal points are marked as S for South, E for East, and W for West, with North represented by the 0 marker. The dial is printed with the text SUUNTO FINLAND. The compass includes three yellow lubber lines for alignment and a secondary fixed scale on the outer bezel. The unit is housed in a black composite bowl with a clear, domed acrylic cover. It is mounted within a black gimbaled U-bracket designed for surface or bulkhead mounting, allowing for pitch and roll. A silver adhesive label on the side of the housing reads Type K-12 / MADE IN FINLAND. The assembly includes adjustment screws on the side and base for deviation compensation.
Condition report:
The clear acrylic dome displays multiple surface scratches, fine abrasions, and scuffing consistent with age and field use. The black housing and mounting bracket show minor surface wear and light dust accumulation. The compass card moves freely within the fluid-damped housing. The gimbal mechanism and mounting bracket appear to be complete and functional.
