A genuine WW2 fully functional! USAAF Wittnauer compas as used by pilots and navigators. A rare find - Wittnauer compasses are compasses made by the Wittnauer company for the U.S. military forces at the start of World War II. Watch-Type compass was among the contents of the U.S. Army Air Force pilot's emergency kit which fits into the back pad of a parachute (see attached photo from WW2). Watchmakers fleeing Europe at the start of World War II were given jobs manufacturing navigational instruments and other war products at this company. Due to Wittnauer's long relationship with the American military, the company was given a contract to produce compasses for the U.S. military forces in 1941. Most of the compasses you see come up for sale were made this year. They were included as part of a survival kit for U.S. aviators, and were frequently seen as Officer’s compasses.

Great and rare 100% original item from WW2 ! See also our other interesting military books and militaria for sale!

This is the first time we have a comment about the packaging, we ship in a waterproof plastic folder, surrounded by thick cardboard on both sides in this case to prevent any damage. So we do not know how this could be improved. Thanks for your interest.

Interessante manuale tecnico dell'esercito americano. Ottimo acquisto, tempi di spedizione veloci ed ottimo imballaggio.

Exactly, as mentioned in the description: '' NOTE: in the US section some insignia photo's were cut out (see attached photo's).'', so with photo's added. How could it possible be more clear?

Heel snel geleverd. Object was ook goed verpakt. Object zelf (kompas uit WO II) was precies zoals omschreven. Prachtig stuk.
