Silva Mark IV military compass
- Thread starter WTF
- Start date
To my knowledge, there is one Italian geology products site that will sell the Silva Mk IV to U.S. customers, but as I recall, the price was pretty hefty. I don't remember the address off-hand.

WTF,
I'm not sure if this is the place Jeb was referring to, but here's a link to an Italian company that has the Mk IV:
http://www.geoenv.it/store/strumen/compass.htm
Some of the other compasses featured on that page look pretty solid as well. BTW, the 374,000 lire price tag translates to $170 at today's exchange rate. Of course, shipping charges would be more, assuming they would sell to you in the first place.

Here's another link to a US company that carries the Eschenbach compasses:

You may also want to take a look at the Suunto KS-14 pictured further down the page (item D). I've been dragging one of these through the woods with me for a few years and it's proven to be a very durable little compass. I can't say as I've really relied on it solely for any extended land navigation exercises (it's served more as a backup to my GPS), but it does seem to be a solidly built, quality compass.
