The barometer can be removed from the case, and there is an adjustment hole. Note that even the inside of the case features lovely engine turning. The compass is working fine. The barometer is working, as it has moved since i brought it home today. I have also tested the barometer by placing it in a sealed inflated bag, and applying pressure to the bag. This resulted in the needle deflecting under pressure, thus simulating changes in the barometric pressure.

The inside of the glass on the compass has some mop dust on it. The compass needle is slightly bent. The sterling silver case is in great condition, except for some. Note that the glass for the barometer is easily removable. The diameter of the case is 5 cm (2). The depth of the case is 2.8 cm (1.1) (including beveled glass).
