Marbles Brass Pocket Compass

Does anyone know where I can get one of these in the UK, or do I have to get it from the US?
Cheers

Not exactly an answer to the query, but I have 2 Marbles compasses (the dry version) and both are inoperable. I only carried one a few times before it refused to turn and the other simply refused to work sitting on a shelf.

The newer wet versions may be better, but I have read several similar experiences to my dry version. would advise against a Marbles compass and try and get a TruNord instead.

I've had a Tru-Nord compass banging about at the bottom of my belt pouch for years and it still works ok, I think these are similar to the Marbles compass...

Thanks for that. Looks like I should amend the post to ask where I can get one of those in the UK now

beachlover - I don't think that you can get the trunord in the UK. I recently bought two direct from the makers for about £28 including postage to the UK. They are great solid compasses.

Thanks for that. I thought I might have to go to the manufacturer somehow.

TruNords are preset for declination so if you order from the vendor in the US make sure you state what sort of declination value you want.

Is the Trunord website secure for CC ordering? There is no wee padlock in the bottom right corner!
