Too bad there doesn't appear to be any original WW2 compasses left available to you Peter. Not that a G150 isn't appropriate as it is almost an exact copy apart from markings and some minor differences internally like the light holders under the card (and the card being in mils), but it would be kind of romantic to imagine compasses still being issued with wartime manufacture dates. I guess those left in service after the 1950's probably got worn out to BER status over time.

By the way, are the Stanleys you have access to sporting the solid cards, or are some still mother of pearl?
