Solid brass US Engineer Corp, Cruchon & Emons Sighting Compass, Berne Switzerland. No. 26500
From an article back in the WWI era: "With
heavy Brass Bronze Case, equipped with hinged cover, a slot opening
provides means of sighting and determining direction accurately. A
polished mirror is attached to inside cover which reflects dial of
compass when sighting, without lowering instrument from the eye. The
compass is 2 inches in diameter and marked every 5 degrees, and numbered
every 20 degrees. Luminous arrows distinguish all directions easily in
the dark."
And from another article: "They
(the compass) represent an early attempt at a mirror compass, with an
originally polished brass insert in the cover which allows the card with
bearings printed in reverse to be read while sighting on a target. The
bottom of the case is stamped with Cruchon & Emons, Berne and an
individual serial number. The top of the case is marked US Engineer
Corps."
