Product Description

This original WWII British Prismatic Compass, dated 1941 and manufactured by T.G. Co Ltd, London, is a superb example of wartime British military equipment. Used by officers and NCOs for navigation and artillery coordination, this compass reflects the precision and durability demanded during World War II.

Constructed from solid brass with a black enamel military finish, the compass features a prismatic sighting mechanism that allows users to take accurate bearings while viewing their target. The mother-of-pearl dial is still vibrant and rotates smoothly, with clearly legible directional markings. A functioning rotating bezel and transit lock ensure secure use in the field, and the thumb loop remains intact.

The lid is crisply engraved with “T.G. Co Ltd London 1941”, confirming its origin and wartime issue. T.G. Co (Taylor, Taylor & Hobson and other linked firms) was a known maker of high-quality optical and navigational instruments for the British military.

This compass remains in excellent working condition, with minimal wear and full functionality. Often accompanied by its original leather case or webbing pouch (if available), this is a highly collectible WWII artifact—perfect for militaria collectors, historical educators, or vintage instrument enthusiasts.
