German WWII compass

[Alexander]

My first purchase for 2014, a German marching compass.

It was made by the Berlin company of R. Fuess. It has a 50mm ruler which clicks out, also a mirror to reflect the needle when a bearing is taken. There is a small button which locks the needle and the bezel also rotates. The German graduations go from 0 to 64 and appear to go counter clockwise.
