The Brunton baseplate compasses are made by Silva in Sweden ...
Are you sure of that?
I suspect that the compasses that existed BEFORE Silva of Sweden acquired Suunto (the "green ones" - 8010G, 9020G, & 8040G - and the Eclipse compasses) are made somewhere else, but I honestly don't know where. I don't have one of them here at work (sorry) so I can't look on it to see if it has a "made in xxxx" label.
