Brunton Pocket Transit is a specialized instrument used widely by those needing to make accurate navigational and slope-angle measurements in the field. Users were primarily geologists, but archaeologists, environmental engineers, mining engineers and surveyors also make use of the Brunton's capabilities. The United States Army has adopted the Pocket Transit as the M2 Compass for use by crew-served artillery.

This vintage compass makes a great nautical gift to anybody who appreciates fine things or is interested in history.

The compass comes in a beautiful Mahogany wood gift box.
