Vintage Silva type 2 compass

[ozzy1977]

I got this thrown in with 60's Karrimor rucksack at the weekend, its a Silva Type 2 compass I guess also from the 60's. It has a bubble in it but is just as accurate as my modern Silva's and Suunto's

Cool.
I got the same compass a couple of years ago from a Military Surplus store ( 'don't remember which one )
I didn't get a box or leaflet though...that makes it a bit special.

Good catch.
