Compass Opinions

Hi,

Is this a W.W.2 German Heer issued compass even if the word "Germany" is on it?

Found my answer on the internet

The maker's signature (PASTO Germany) and the fact that it has two different rulers (decimal and imperial) indicate clearly that this is a post WW II product. Moreover, the position of the magnetic declination luminous marker (5° W) is consistent with the 1950's.
