Product Description
This is an original British WW2 MK IX Brass Compass, dated 1940 and manufactured by J. M. Glauser, one of the premier makers of precision military instruments during the Second World War. This early-war issue model is a robust, beautifully engineered piece of kit carried by officers and map-readers throughout the conflict.
Crafted from solid brass, the compass retains its rich patina while remaining in excellent working condition. The dial is clean and clearly marked, with sharp cardinal points and a smoothly rotating needle. The floating card and sighting mechanism function perfectly, making it not just a collectible but also a fully operational navigation tool.
The case is engraved with “J. M. Glauser, MK IX” and the British military broad arrow stamp, confirming its authenticity and service issue. The robust build and wartime provenance make this a standout piece for any collector of WW2 militaria or vintage navigation instruments.
Whether displayed in a collection, used for historical interpretation, or gifted to a history enthusiast, this J. M. Glauser 1940 MK IX compass offers a direct connection to British military heritage and craftsmanship.
