Antique Questions Forum / Re: WW1 British A rmyMarching Compass - which model & year
« on: July 07, 2015, 03:19:34 am »
Thanks for the replies, i believe i have found the maker.
they giveaway was that verners typically had the locking knob at the 2 o'clock position, mine is at 4 o'clock. A bit of googling brought up very similar Francis Barker compasses from the same period.
You were right about the mark Ipcress, it is either 91 or 16, perhaps indicating a date of 1916?

certainly vintage, not a great deal of value though, have you been given a price?

Although its hard to read, i think it just says 'china'
i came across 2 brass plates in the same style this week, they had 'china' badly written on both of them

I don't think of any of the pieces to be brass.
The pieces on the body of the scoop certainly don't, though worn there is no sign of the plating being rubbed away, and seem to be a higher quality design.
The handle seems to be lower quality, and has a different feel and seems to be turning a reddish brown colour where its been worn away.
Perhaps this is an amateur's attempt with some high quality pieces used to decorate it?

I live in the UK, I bought it from a charity shop.
Though I removed most of it, there was a lot of polish residue left around the 'silver'. Someone clearly took care of it. Maybe it was a movie prop?
