This is a really nice replica of an astrolabe, it has a nice heft to it, all the parts move and it would probably actually work if I knew how (or needed to) use it sailing. I had previously purchased a smaller version from another vendor but I recommend this one for a nice decoration in a nautical or marine theme.
