This listing is for the following item from my grandfather's collection:A genuine WW2 issued wrist compass as used by Airborne troops on D-Day. This is a wartime model with the original leather strap.This compass no longer has liquid, but is still in excellent condition. It can be repaired. It is also clearly marked on the reverse:U.S. ARMYCOMPASS, WRISTLIQUID FILLEDTAYLOR MODELThis compass, officially known as Compass, Wrist, Liquid-filled, was made by Taylor. The compass was usually seen worn on the wrist, but also over the sleeve, the shoulder loops, webbing, or at the ankle over the jump boots. Wrist compasses were used both by officers and enlisted men, unlike the lensatic compass, or marching compass, which was normally reserved for officers, NCO's, or men on a special mission.
