British WW1 MK VIII Marching Compass, Case and Lanyard. 1917.

A very nice Verner's type compass made by the firm Barnes & Morris and dated 1917. The brass body has over 80% of its period black finish with a clear and working ''dry'' dial inner. This example comes with its nice leather carry case and a period lanyard attached to the compass. Case has the original owners name to the inside flap.
