Just a heads-up for you that these compasses are made for 5 different geographic regions; kind of like DVDs, except the difference is the counterweighting. If you use one from a different region, the needle card will tilt on an angle. The bigger the difference (eg using a region 1 compass in region 5) the bigger the tilt. They're still usable but it's annoying and doesn't help accuracy. So it's worth asking where they were purchased when buying one second-hand, and considering where you will be using it
 
Hi,
Are you looking for a new or used compass ?
What is your price point ?
