Found it this morning on e Belgian fleamarket. Apart from a missing leg it's in good condition but it needs some cleaning. It's a 1939/40 Vion type V31. No idea in what planes they were used.

Lots of calibration screws under the top lid. Little magnet on every wheel.

Looks quite complex, nice find though.

Years ago I was gifted a WW2 US compass as used in Gliders, DUKW's and early Weasels.
