Peter must of been cool to meet John Howard just seeing that helmet with a snipers round through it and he survived plus I read he had shrapnel in he back and stayed directing his men in combat. Plus he started out enlisted those guys were the best to work for when I was in. I worked for what in the Navy was called a mustang that some one who started out enlisted then became a Officer he was one of the better Officer I worked for.

One thing about issued military compasses there a cheap collectible from WW1 to the present compared to others military collectibles to get into.

They may be a cheap collectable today, but they could be an expensive collectible some time in the future. I've also collected some military items that had little market value, (And I still do) but just finding them and learning all I could about them was enjoyable enough to me.
I can remember not so long ago when M1 carbines were a cheap collectible WWII rifle you could buy for a song....

Same with some Military issued watches 20-15 years ago the prices were great that have went up so much today it slowed me down and wished I held on to a few I sold because I will never pay what they are going for today. You never know what's the next thing collectors will go crazy over to shoot the price up.
