M-73 Presentation Compass

Nothing says 'leader' like a good compass.  The M-73 Presentation Compass makes a great gift for college graduations, promotions, retirement, or other significant life events or achievements.  It can be a beautiful addition to a desktop or bookcase, a great tool for African safari or other adventures, or critical survival gear when your plane goes down in the jungle.

This version of the M-73 has an elegant, polished brass exterior- but don't let the good looks fool you.  Like the M-73 Leader's Compass, which is used by elite military forces all over the world, it is designed to withstand even the most extreme climates and conditions.  It's unbelievably accurate, highly dependable, and handsome enough to qualify as a work of art.  It'll get you to your objective in style, day or night (thanks to tritium inserts).  The M-73 is, without question, the best handheld compass on earth.

Key Features:

• accurate to one half of one degree (10 mils).
• prism sighting system eliminates parallax errors.
• rotating bezel with lock screw.
• needle sets very quickly and precisely.
• sights directly on to the target.
• clear resolution of the bearing reading.
• clarity in relating the target object to the bearing.
• five self-luminous tritium light sources enable night operation.
• one inch circle on the bottom of the compass can be engraved.

Every component of the M-73 can be replaced, leading to years of continuous, reliable use and lower service costs.

PLEASE NOTE: Compasses can only be purchased for shipment to US addresses or to US military units or installations overseas.

Francis Barker^TM compasses are not only the finest compasses in the world- they are also a part of history.  They were used by Dr. David Livingstone on his Africa expeditions, and by many other illustrious citizens and noblemen since the company was founded in 1848.  They have been issued to officers of the British Army for generations, and they are currently used by a number of military forces throughout the world.
