Scout™ Lensatic Compass - Traditional Phosphorescent Military Style with Nylon Carry Pouch - OD Green

Our Scout™ model compass is a classic military-style lensatic sighting compass that is based on the iconic U. S. Army M-1950 designed by the Brunson Instrument Company near the end of WWII. Although the basic construction, look and design is over 70 years old, modernized versions of it are still in use by various military services of the United States Department of Defense which is a testament to its original design engineers. Don't get burned by poor quality versions out there that may look similar...this is a super solid unit that won't disappoint! With its heavy-duty cast aluminum body and liquid dampened needle capsule, this compass is perfect for those looking for an accurate, solid quality, lensatic sight compass. Due to its similarities to the USGI version, it makes a great training compass for navigational techniques so you don't have to beat up your expensive GI Cammenga. The Scout compass features a bright, phosphorescent (glow-in-the-dark) back-light panel and bearing marks
