Shout out brother.


Olive drab green painted brass WWI era dry card compass. Manufactured in Switzerland for the U.S. Engineer Corps. Bottom stamped with the makers name Plan Ltd, Neuchatel and individual serial number.

An early attempt at a mirror compass, with an originally polished brass insert in the cover which allows the card (w/ bearings printed in reverse) to be read while sighting on a target. Compass points strong North. Weight: 5 oz. Contains radium paint.
