Description

Finnish made March compass by Physica in 1944 with original box and paperwork (German and Dutch). It is the civilian version of the Physica M/III model for the Finish army. Under German law it was called the P1 (covered both Suunto M34 and Physica M/III) during world war 2, hence the German instructions (also on the back of the compass). This particular one came from a batch sourced by the dutch tourist association (ANWB) to be sold to their members. The Bezard comapass from France was. not available during the war, as stated in the letter. This Physica compass was distributed by the Armatikon company which provided the box. The compass is in overall good condition and the needle moves, but has bad visibility and seems to be missing the south point on the needle(?). It comes on a later linnen strap with plastic clasp while the original was leather (if provided). This interesting war time product with all provenance measures ca. 5,5 cm or 2 1/4 inches. See attached a short YouTube video on how to works a vintage (wrist) compass.
