    This is a 1956 U.S.N Buships wrist compass and it was made by John E. Hand & Sons Co. out of Haddonfield, New Jersey. It is in excellent condition, don't believe that it was ever worn. I am looking for more information about this if anyone can help me. I believe that it was issued to an underwater demolition team pacific, UDT 13 to be exact(i have the patch that goes with it. Any information would be appreciated, contact me at: robbhuot@gmail.com or (310)770-0702. Thanks in advance.
