The Compass I still prefer is the Silva Ranger (Type 15) made by Silva AG in Sweden (the real Silva Company). It is sold in NA by Brunton as the Brunton Type 15TDCL Sighting Compass. It is hard to get at in Canada (and I assume in the US), where stock seems to be both sporadic and limited. If you have friends or are traveling to Britain or Ireland, they have them there.

Here is a Pic of a Type 15 being used. The other compass that is not bad is Suunto MC-2 Sighting Compass. Both these compass are liquid filled, have settable declination, and a Romer on the base plate.
