AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent original World War II specimen of the famous American wrist-worn compass, officially named Compass, Wrist, Liquid-Filled.
Made by Taylor (Rochester, N.Y.), it bears the date 1-45 on the side. It comes with its original webbing strap, which is quite rare: most specimens today have a replacement leather strap.
This compass was particularly prized by paratroopers (82nd and 101st Airborne). It was worn on the wrist, over the sleeve of the jump jacket, on the suspenders, or even on the ankle over jump boots. Unlike the lensatic compass, it was issued to both officers and enlisted men.
Condition:
• Functional
• Beautiful untouched original patina
• Markings clearly legible on the back
• Strap and housing have clearly always been together
A very handsome authentic and complete specimen, in excellent original condition for its age. A sought-after piece for Airborne equipment collectors and US WWII personal items.
