    Default WW2 Russian Wrist Compass

    Hello, This is my first Russian item from the Second World War. I don’t know too much about it because this isn’t my field of collecting. However I would love to be schooled on this item and gain some new knowledge. It has 1940 stamped twice on the bottom under the strap. The compass itself isn’t too bad besides some dirt that got inside. The strap is broken, cracked and stiff but it is sturdy for now.

    My main question is really who would have used this kind of item? Would it be an officer or a specific navigator? Anyway thank you in advance for any help!

    Cheers and Happy Collecting,
    Bodhi

    It is a ADRIANOFF-type compass made by Мастерские артиллерийские управления Рабоче-Крестьянской Красной Армии (Masterskye Artilleriskoye Upravlenye Raboche-Krestianskoy Krasnoy Army) i.e. the Workshops of the Artillery's Administration of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.

    Officers used these, also artillery observers etc. Here's a nice pic in wear:
