WW2 US Paratrooper Wrist Compass Superior Magneto Co - May 1944

This is a nice example of the Wrist Compass issued to US Paratroops. It was also a part of some of the "Escape and Evasion" kits issued to USAAF Combat Aircrew. Made by Superior Magneto Corp., and marked "5-44". I see some listings mention water-filled, although I don't see any indication there was ever a liquid inside. Unlike most surviving originals, the dial on this one moves freely.

Last photo is credited to the most excellent reference book on the subject "Geronimo" by Bill Rentz.
