Deruelle Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 To recognise your position, use a compass. I am proud to show you one of the best compass I have ever seen on the market. It is complet with the leather pocket in its own case. This is a 1910 model.RegardsChristophe
Deruelle Posted January 21, 2006 Author Posted January 21, 2006 The compass . If somebody else has got another exemplar, please can you show it. ThanksRegardsChristophe
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 that is very nice indeed. Just a couple of weeks ago a collector was telling me that the Germans only had privately bought compases in WW1.I have a really nice WW1 British compass where the name of the British officer is scratched out and replaced with the name of the German one.
Deruelle Posted January 22, 2006 Author Posted January 22, 2006 Thanks for your comment Chris. Can you show your exemplar please ? Christophe
Daniel Murphy Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 Just a couple of weeks ago a collector was telling me that the Germans only had privately bought compases in WW1.Chris, This is a privately purchased model as well. It is the "Armee Model" because it is designed for use by officers and NCO's of the army. They are rarely found as complete as this.Dan Murphy
medalnet Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 This is interesting. My Grand-grand father used the exact same Bezard compass during WWI. I still have it looks exactly the same.
