Our math compass is still in the original case and except for age related pitting is in wonderful condition.

The German name "Richten" is seen on the side. We have a definition of this - Richten (abrichten ; not from brechen (to break), but from richten (to set right; to correct in any way; to regulate), which comes from recht (right, correct, regular, straight). We are not sure if this was the company that manufactured these compasses or not.

This piece measures, on its own, 5.375. With the case it is 7". You'll see from the pictures this is really in nice shape. We believe because it was stored in its original case and not kept out to the elements.

Typically these were used by cartographers and surveyors.
