Nice Compass. I only wish I could find someone who could refill mine...
Double Broad Arrow mean officially surplused, right?
Thank you! My example is also a Broad Arrow marked 1943 dated Mk III manufactured by T.G. Co. Ltd. in London, although it is not as new as your boxed example.

Yes, the double Broad Arrow in a perfect world indicates it was officially surplused; although with the thousands of tons of Allied war material that was disposed of, it was impossible to double-stamp everything.
