Description
Wrist compasses were used both by officers and enlisted men for correctly calculating their position. Though it was designed to be worn on the wrist, it was commonly attached to various other pieces of equipment, such as over the sleeve, shoulder straps, webbing, or at the ankle over the jump boots.
Made by Superior Magneto of brown plastic and leather, this compass is in EXCELLENT used condition! It retains 90% of the original paint and finish, with almost NO marks or scratches! 100% FUNCTIONAL, it features 360 degree markings on the face. The bottom is clearly marked with all manufacture information. It is dated 11-44. Leather strap is the original (these are usually missing). It still points to magnetic north. Would make for a PERFECT addition to any collection or display!
