[pct-l] Compass ???

[Steel-Eye]

Good evening, Bayou,

I have about a dozen comapsses but I use a Silva Type-26 compas the most. 
It is 1.2 oz. with a neck string.  This is the lightest, cheapest sighting 
compass I could find.  I seldom use the flip-up mirror for compass sighting, 
but I do like to have a small mirror of some sort to find something in my 
eye or, more commonly, to trim my mustach.
