Not as far as I can tell. There is no bubble in the casing and the needle swings very freely. There is no damping, as you might expect if it was moving through liquid.

Is this compass made of clear plastic?

Yes it is made of clear plastic so you can see the map details beneath it.

Seller: is needle and the north, south, east & west points luminous (for night navigation)? if not, is there a different one that is?

This compass as fore as I know does not have a luminous bit on the needle. The Silva 4 Militaire - 6400/360 compass has a luminous bit on the North needle.

thought this had magnifier but it doesn’t seem to. Does anyone know which next model Silva compass has a magnifier pls

Hi there, the best options for a baseplate compass with incorporated magnifier are either the Ranger or the Expedition 4.
