Old Scout, So what happened? Any news yet. I have a Silva model couldn't tell you which one but its about 2x2" folding with a black cover and a mirror supposedly designed for mil. survival kits. Used to carry it in my coat as a backup (1 of 3), and I took it out one day and it had developed a bubble. It never suffered any banging around or anything. I'd be interested in how you made out. Regards Jim
