Hi all, I've been reading your discussion on compasses, and as a collector of Britishicon militaria, it looks as though I've stumbled into the right place. Anyone know anything about J.H. Steward compasses made in 1900? I bought one with leather carrying case and inscribed TH Lovell on ebay years ago, and it looks like the ones in these pictures, only much older/less fancy. the compass card is brown paper with mother of pearl on the outside edge. unfortunately, the compass needs work- the card doesn't turn freely. any info on its history or where i can get it working again would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Greg p.s. still trying to figure out how to imbed a picture. any thoughts

Hi all, I've enjoyed reading about compasses- looks like I've stumbled into the right place! Anyone know how/where I can get a Boer War circa 1900 J.H. Steward compass fixed? Mine looks just like the one's in the photos, but of course, much older and simpler. I bought it and its leather case years ago for my Boer War collection, and would like to get the cardboard/mother-of-pearl card working again. I can post some pictures once I figure out how. Any help/information would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Greg
