TG & Co. Ltd, London. Engineering / Navigator's Lensmatic Compass Recreation with Professional Grade Callibration
This beautiful solid buffed brass reproduction of a Lensmatic Compass has been professionally re-callibrated. Traditional military style design with swivel dial, magnifying
glass, adjustable viewer, sighting wire and solid folding metal casing. Sturdy, heavyweight and compact folding down to approx 3"x2". Also has loop so that a lanyard
could be attached. The 3" compass card has the standard 0 - 360 degree scale, as well as the 0 - 64 Mil scale (one yard at 1,000 yards). The cardinal points are
luminous for easy viewing in the dark, and the compass features a standard glass bezel with two lines at 45 degree angles. The bezel also rotates with detents so you
can change the heading reference a known amount without looking at the compass. The front sight has a magnifier to simultaneously view the magnetic heading when
taking a sight. Folding the sight down operates a needle lift mechanism to protect the compass bearing. On the side of the compass is a needle freeze mechanism to
hold a reading. The lid of the compass has a glass window with a line etched into the glass for use as a rear sight. The outside of the compass has a brass guard to
protect the glass.
