The 1/2 Scale Compass
This compass faithfully matches
the full-size Rittenhouse compass.
This is a working 1/2 scale compass
which faithfully matches our full-size Rittenhouse compass, and has the same working parts. The needle is
lifted by a small screw, the sights remove, and the compass itself can be
unclamped from it's base and rotated or removed. This makes a great gift,
perfect for awards or presentations. A brass plaque is affixed for engraving.
(Engraving is optional)

automatic needle lifter just as the original. This compass, as
well as the 1/2 scale Rittenhouse compass, is available at
