Good pics & description + FAST shipping = happy buyer. I am a collector as well as a hiker, with just about every major military marching compass -- British, American, German and Israeli -- and I really do believe that this Camenga Tritium Lensatic Compass is the best, most readable compass that has ever been made and the tritium makes it readable at dusk and dawn without a flashlight. The lensatic compass is far more readable for taking bearings than even the best prismatic.

    Cammenga 3H Compass Review

    The compass arrived in great shape - looks brand new. Although it was made in 2004, it still glows in the dark pretty well. The glass was clean and the compass card was easy to read. It's accurate - I compared it to a Bruton, a Silva and my the compass app on my phone.

  • Top critical review

    Good compass, but does not function as it should in darkness.

    Good compass, but it you can't use it in darkness. These types of compasses apparently use a type of radioactivity to illuminate during darkness. The compass I purchased is apparently old and will not illuminate anymore. It is still a very high quality compass and works perfectly in daylight.

  • Great value, newer manufacture than expected

    It's a US issue compass, however it was a much newer manufacture than I expected. This is an added bonus as Tritium has an expected luminous life of 12 years. I had figured to get half of that, instead I got a 2019 date code, which means 10 years of expected life.

  • With and without Tritium

    It is not lightweight by design, in fact, it is quite robust. It’s a military compass and is built like a tank for that reason. Would I recommend? Tricky question because if you can do without the Tritium feature, and you want the precision capability of a lensatic compass, then I would. However, the Tritium used in these specific military compasses has a useful life of 13 years-the compass I purchased from this EBay source was built in the 70”s and the Tritium is inactive, and therefore does not glow in the dark, illuminating critical points on the compass. Is it a good value? Without theTritium-yes. If you want the Tritium feature, you can send the compass back to Cassenga and for $50 they will replace the Tritium for you, except for the 2 pieces that are at each end of the sighting ...

  • It may not glow. B.F.D.

    The glow in mine (mfg 02-10-03) had long since given up the ghost. However, the compass is flawless and seems wear-free. High-quality compass for a good $$$. Your only gripe may be the chance of receiving one with expired tritium. Doesn't matter to me -- I have a flashlight.
