Already listed in my archive. Although this clock looks very clean it is an original ships clock from WW1 / WW2. The eagle on the left is new. The whole case and the movement (produced by Gustav Becker) belongs to the era of the Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy). After WW1 the Imperial Crown was hammered out of the original WW1 dial and the new Third Reich eagle was added. Afterwards the dial has been resilvered. BTW: The golden colour of the hands is not original! Unfortunately nobody can tell if this clock belonged to an German U-Boat...
