RAF Hand Bearing Compass Type 06A

A nice clean example of a hand bearing compas with ref. 6A/1248. It's arrow marked. The compass card moves freely. Although it has a small air bubble in it's oil it still works fine and accurate. The sighting prism is perfect. These compasses were used in flight for taking bearings when the fixed type of observer's compass could not be used. Overall length 9" (21 cm)
