Antique WWI French Brass Pocket Compass with Watch Chain

Antique 1910s WWI French brass pocket compass

This antique pocket compass was made in France in the 1910s and issued to the French army during the First World War. It features a solid brass case with a folding cover and a transit lock that holds the needle in place when the compass is closed. It comes with a 1920s watch chain that suits it perfectly, making it ideal for attaching to a vest or other garments.

Whether you’re looking for a practical hiking companion, a unique pendant, or a decorative display piece, this compact compass is both functional and full of history.

After more than a century, the compass remains in good working condition and still reliably points north. Over the years, the brass case has developed a beautifully aged patina that adds to its antique appeal and character.
