A Military Lensatic Sighting Compass. This olive drab, military-style compass is likely constructed from painted metal with glass or plastic optical components. It features a hinged lid with an integrated sighting wire and lens, a rotating bezel with a fluorescent green ring, and a fluid-damped dial displaying cardinal directions and a 360-degree scale. An attached protractor or inclinometer displays scales for “INCLINATION” and “GRADIENT,” along with the translated terms “TENDENCIA,” “STEIGUNG,” “INCLINAISON,” and “NEIGUNG.” A braided cord lanyard is present. A white sticker with “6132” (or similar) is affixed to the side, with the number “3000” faintly visible on the body.
