I am no longer actively collecting but I still love the stuff.
I am posting here because I'd love to get a telogreika, post war, for active outdoor use. Problem is that over here I never...

Thank you Kradman. Do you know from which period?

Hi all,

today I dug this compass, in a training area used by allied troops. It might as well be more recent, maybe lost by some boy scout but I found these compasses were produced already in the...
