Yesterday, I bought this neat compass along with some German WW1 stuff.
Obviously, it is war booty, possibly from Flanders.
Amazing how elaborate and well constructed a 1918 item was on the side of the allies.
These compasses are said to have been much appreciated on the German side.
it is a bit tricky to find the release lever if you are nit familiar with the model.
I thought it was broken at first but quickly learned the trick.
Cheers,
