The Story
Original Item. Only One Available. This is a scarce WWII Mark VII Creagh-Osborne Marching Compass with its original leather pouch. The compass is near mint, in almost unissued condition. The compass itself has an eyepiece to observe exact degrees, and functions very well. This is a great foot locker or combat field pack display item. The case measures approximately 3 ¾"H x 2 ⅝”W x 2"D.
The compass is clearly stamped on the back

The leather pouch is in good shape with some cracking in the leather, and some of the stitching has rotted out on the rear. There also used to be a leather strap on front over the closure strap, which has fallen off. This is a very scarce model of compass, unissued and a textbook example. There’s even still liquid inside! Ready for further research and display.
