'Standard-issue'-pattern, black-coloured and/or copper-based WH-compass (ie. 'Marschkompass') which is nicely 'MK'-marked and/or individually numbered: '45817' and that came mounted onto its period 'Fangschnur'

The attractive 'Wehrmacht'-issued compass (ie. 'Marschkompass') is naturally still fully functional and retains most of its (fairly glossy) black-painted ie. sprayed colour and is marked with the engraved serial-number (ie. '45817') and/or typical 'MK'-designation as mentioned above. The compass shows as stated only moderate wear and/or age but is naturally still fully functional. This truly 'high-quality' piece was most certainly issued in the early war-years (or before) but was most certainly used throughout the WWII. The piece was moderately used and does show some regular paint-loss and shows some staining on its top (as can be seen on the pictures). Of additional interest is, moreover, the fact that this example came still mounted onto its 'standard-issue'-pattern, black- (ie. darker-brown) coloured- and/or genuine leather-based WH compass-lanyard (ie. 'Fangschnur für Marschkompass'). This lanyard - which is actually a scarce WH-equipment-item in itself! - shows only moderate wear and/or age but is naturally still fully functional and/or souple. This specific equipment-piece - which has a length of approximately 65 cms. as more often - is a non-maker-marked example (as can be seen on the pictures) something that is most certainly not always the case. It is executed in black- (ie. darker-brown) coloured leather and is fully souple and void of any damages or alike and shows an attached (early-styled- ie. copper-based-) 'musketon'-hook and/or: typically 'T'-shaped- (and/or also copper-based) 'closure-end' in place (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply a neat - and in this completely untouched condition actually unusually encountered ! - pre-war-period, WH-equipment-item that can easily be graded 'scarce'!
