British Military Thumb Compass in Antique Bronze Finish
This is a heavy solid brass reproduction of a Mark III handheld British Military Thumb Compass.
This Solid Brass Engineering Compass is available in antique bronze finish. The compass card has the standard 0 - 360 degree scale, as well as the 0 - 64 Mil scale (one yard at 1,000 yards).
The lid opens and the front sight folds over the compass to function as the front sight. The sight has a magnifier to allow viewing the compass card and the object being sighted simultaneously.
The height of the front sight can be adjusted to focus the compass card. The lid has a scribed line in a window to serve as the rear sight, and the glass is protected by an exterior guard. A brass bezel can be rotated and is marked off in 10-degree increments. The bezel has detents so you can change the heading reference a known amount without looking at the compass. A side adjustment varies the tension on the detent mechanism. The outside diameter of the compass case is engraved with a compass rose for fast determination of rough direction.
The compass is antique bronze finish and the compass measures 2 3/8 inches (6 cm) in diameter, 1 1/4 inches (3.2 cm) thick, and weighs a very solid 300 grams). This compass is fully functional, but is not certified accurate. This comes with a teak wooden display box for storage.
