Opened the box when it came and ........it has a swastika on it It originated on a German Sub and ended up later on a decommissioned Russian sub. Had it recalibrated at a chandlery in New Orleans and the owner of the shop offered me $2K for it. DO NOT buy a surplus one from Japan--unless you can read characters....
House of Time, maybe? Gawd I loved that shop. On Gentilly, maybe? I heard it's gone.
