Vintage 1940s WWII French Army Brass Pocket Compass

Vintage 40s WWII French army brass pocket compass

This compass was made in France and issued to French troops during the Second World War. It has a solid brass case with a folding cover and a transit lock that holds the needle in place when the compass is closed, protecting it during travel.

Whether as a practical hiking companion, a unique pendant or a display piece, this compass is both functional and full of history.

After more than 80 years, the compass is in good working condition and still reliably points north. The brass case has developed a beautifully aged patina that adds to its character.
