Hey Vince
I already have two Marbles pocket compasses of the dry needle type.One with a white face and black arrow needle and one with a black disc with white graffics.They are made really well and hold up to alot of abbuse.I carry mine along with my pocket change.Marbles also makes the pin on "hunters compass"FWIW.Until I get TruNord a in my hands to check out I'll stick to what I got.I'm a stickler when it comes to quality.As I said I was just passing along some first hand observation.Later and tanx
