Product Description

This authentic WWI British Verner’s Patent Marching Compass, dated 1917 and marked No. 93040, was manufactured by F-L, believed to be Fischer & Ludewig, a known supplier of high-quality precision instruments during the early 20th century. Issued during the closing year of World War I, this compass is a remarkable example of British military field gear.

Crafted from durable brass with a blackened military finish, the compass features the classic Verner’s Patent design—complete with a flip-up sighting vane, prismatic lens, and floating dial. The dial, likely mother-of-pearl, is still legible and rotates smoothly, with a working transit lock to secure it during movement. The compass retains its original engraved markings: “Verner’s Patent, F-L, 1918, No. 93040.”

This piece is in excellent condition, with only light wear consistent with age and use. When available, it includes a leather case or belt pouch, adding to its historical value and collectibility.

Whether you’re a militaria collector, a historian, or an enthusiast of antique scientific instruments, this 1917 Verner’s Patent compass offers a rare and tangible connection to the equipment used by British officers in the final months of the First World War.
