• a lightproof first shielding member that covers a proximal end portion of the pointer main body and the light guide from a front side and a lateral side;
• and
• a lightproof second shielding member that covers the proximal end portion of the pointer main body and the light guide from a back side and engages with the first shielding member, wherein
• the pointer main body emits light by light emitted from a light source disposed on a back side of the dial plate and incident on the shaft, and
• the second shielding member has a protrusion that protrudes toward the front side along an axial direction of the shaft, the protrusion closes a gap between the first shielding member and a side face of the pointer main body such that the protrusion blocks a light path that extends from a location inside of the first shielding member to a location outside of the first shielding member, the location inside of the first shielding member is adjacent to the side face of the pointer main body and the location outside of the shielding member is adjacent to the side face of the pointer main body.
