Army Lensatic Compass


QED4

Recommended Posts

I picked up the compas on the right at the flea market last week for $10.00 and am not sure if it is an early one, a late one, or just put togeather from parts. The one on the left is what I am used to seeing and the cases on both are exactly the same right down to the markings and maker except the one on the right is not dated. The difference being, the one on the right has only a needle not the disc with the degrees marked. It does not appear to have ever been opened or messed with. Dose anyone know anything about this?

There is no disc, it is a needle, like you find in the small pocket watch style compas put in survival kits, only larger. If it comes apart I don't see how.

They do come apart because they were filled with alcohol and it had to be replaced periodically.
