Description

This is a lensatic compass that is used in the US Military. This model has phosphorus inserts in the compass for low light use. The compass folds out and has a rotating bezel with both Degree and Mil measurements for direction. A magnetized needle sits in the bezel that shows North, East, South and West and there is a declination adjustment on the bezel as well. The top of the compass when folded out has a thin strand of wire for accurate direction finding that is used with the fold out lens that also has a notch. On the side is a 1:50000 Meter map scale tool for distance measurements on similarly scaled maps. On the housing of the compass is a lanyard loop, lanyard included, for easy carry and securing the compass to you. Overall these compasses are sturdy and ready for hard, accurate, use.
