  • Original Item: Only One Available. A genuine WW2 issue wrist compass as used by Airborne troops on D-Day. This is a wartime model. This fully functional example is still liquid filled in excellent condition and clearly marked on the reverse:



    U.S. ARMY
    COMPASS, WRIST
    LIQUID FILLED

    TAYLOR MODEL
    ROCHESTER N.Y.
    U.S.A

    This compass, official known as Compass, Wrist, Liquid-filled, was made by Taylor. The compass was usually seen worn on the wrist (duh!), but also over the sleeve, the shoulder loops, webbing, or at the ankle over the jump boots. Wrist compasses were used both by officers and enlisted men, unlike the lensatic compass, or marching compass, which was normally reserved for officers, NCO’s or men on a special mission.
