I agree with TopBunk,

It was an old 3 needle altimeter, with the thin needle with arrow pointing bewteen one and two, thereore indicating 14, 500,on an incorrect pressure setting of 1020.

Having never seen a metric altimeter, can anyone explain how one flies to assigned altitudes in feet or Flight levels, without doing a complicated mental converion, with risk of error?
