I have just procured a compass and after having read Peter Laidlers article on the Mk III compass I would like to ask what type is this one pictured.
As it has similarities to the one Peter Laidlericon talks about but has no top grill guard all I can find on it is an engraved 607! on top and stamped 274 inside the top no M Mk anywhere.
Also what has me perplexed is from my Mk III ones this one is dry where the swinging card is which leads me to think the fibre washer is kaput.
And before I get to trying to solve the problem and not create havoc I would like it identified and whether it infact came with a dry center so to speak and as always TIA
I gather the correct liquid they used is unobtainable to the public probably because it is very nasty but apart from Mentholated spirits is there anything else on the market that will suffice.
If Metho is it then no probs there.
