Historical Design
Issued to Hungarian military forces, the 39/49 M. Tájoló compass was built for reliable land navigation. It features a robust Bakelite body and a protective olive-green metal lid that stands up to severe weather and heavy field use.
Field Navigation
The flip-top metal cover opens to reveal a sighting mirror and notch system, allowing you to align your target while reading the dial. The cover also includes a 5 cm measuring scale along the edge for fast distance calculations on topographic maps.
Protective Leather Case
Each compass comes with its original pebbled brown leather pouch featuring a secure stud fastener and neck lanyard. It keeps your compass clean and protected from impact when you are out hiking, bushcrafting, or collecting historical gear.
Add a genuine piece of military equipment to your kit for your next outdoor trip or historical collection.
This item was used by the Hungarian Army during the WWII (1939–1945) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.
Grade 1 represents solid, fully functional military surplus that has been deployed or issued but remains in great usable condition with plenty of life left.
- Functionality: 100% field-ready. All main zippers, press studs, drawstrings, and buckles work as intended with no critical faults.
- Fabric & Wear: Structurally sound with light cosmetic wear, minor abrasion, or subtle fading from normal military use and laundering.
- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
- Repairs: May include neat, professional military-standard stitches or minor reinforcement patches that do not compromise gear integrity.
- Storage & Cleanliness: Gear is serviceable straight out of the box, though a standard initial wash or airing is recommended to clear typical military surplus storage scent and minor handling dust.
