This Stanley London^® beautiful solid brass reproduction of an Engineering Lensatic Compass is available in a polished or antique brass finish. The 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 in order to 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. When the sight is folded down it operates a needle lift mechanism to protect the compass bearing. There is a needle freeze mechanism to hold a reading on the side of the compass. The lid of the compass has a glass window with a line etched into the glass for use as a rear sight. There is a brass guard outside the compass to protect the glass lid of the compass. The compass measures 2 1/8 inches (5.4 cm) in diameter, 7/8 inches (2.2 cm) thick, and weighs 4.9 ounces (139 grams). The back of the compass can be custom engraved with a maximum of 16 words. Each compass is accompanied by a handcrafted 100 percent leather case. The polished engineering lensatic compass comes with a brown leather case, and the antique finished compass comes with a leather case that has a distressed antique brown finish. Both cases feature a rear belt loop for easy carrying of the compass.
