Remembered Today:

Prismatic compass strap length?

Recommended Posts

There was a compass shown on the Repair Shop TV programme yesterday, when it and its case were overhauled.

This spurred me to dig out the two I have.  They and the cases are ok but without straps.  How long should they be please?  Finding a supplier is a different question!

Daggers,

I have one but getting fragile so can't remove from the compass, but approx dimensions are below.

Total length is 159.5 cm/63 inches. Mine is constructed from two bits of leather that are joined.

Buckle side is 530cm long not including loop, straight side is 110cm long.

pics below, and good luck.

Dave.

Thanks very much for that.  I have a possible supplier in mind, and it helps to have the dimensions.
