    Yes, it's a Britishicon Army one. Made in 1940 and upgraded to Mils in the 70's and lost on an exercise in germany afterwards. We still use them and still teach map reading using the old map and compass. We know that when the war starts, they turn off the SAT NAV systems so it's map, string, watch and compass again!
