Hello .

Any one know a good source for the Francis Parker m - 73 British army issue compass?

there's only one company here in the states that sells them and they are wicked expensive.

I'm looking for the original m-73 British army issue compass preferably with tritiumbut that's not a deal breaker.

I don't suppose any of you guys know if these are available on the surplus second hand market in England at a more reasonable price?

if it's okay I would also like to ask if any members here might have one they'd like to trade I know there are lots of things here in the states that you guys like militaria related that are expensive over there in the UK perhaps if one of you gentlemen has one you'd like to part with we could arrange a trade?

a while back I did a trade with one member from the UK where I traded some Magpul furniture and an esee knife for some items I wanted from the UK .

ANy help guys ???

Sort of - the one I have up for grabs IS British made

BUT

Iraqi Army marked - with the Arabic measurements on the compass face, etc.

Still in the green leather carry case

Silverman's on Mile End Road in London has them. Brand new milspec 349 pounds.
