This Stanley London® Solid Brass Airborne Paratrooper Pocket Compass is an accurate and reliable open faced compass that easily fits in your pocket. These compasses were critical for the Infantry and Paratroopers. Many outfits such as the Airborne and 1st Cavalry Division saw to it that all of its troops were oriented with the use of a compass. In the infantry, the platoon leader and the NCOs were well versed in using a compass. The Paratrooper Pocket Compass is made of solid brass and combines rugged reliability with ease of use. The compass measures 1 1/2 inches (38 mm) in diameter and is 0.46 inch (12 mm) thick. This solid brass antique reproduction is polished to a beautiful high luster and weighs only 1.01 ounces (28.6 grams). We also offer less expensive Open Face Pocket Compasses, a Pocket Watch Style Compass, a Solid Brass 2-inch Open Faced Pocket Compass, a Hiking Compass, and a Brass Scouting Compass.
