Canadian Forces 64 Pattern Compass Pouch With Silva Ranger Compass

The Canadian Forces 64 Pattern Compass Pouch With Silva Ranger Compass is a vintage military navigational set issued to Canadian armed forces personnel. The compass pouch, part of the 1964 Pattern webbing system, is constructed from durable olive green canvas with a snap closure and belt attachments designed for compatibility with standard-issue load-carrying equipment. It provides secure storage and easy access to the included Silva Ranger Compass, a Swedish-manufactured field compass widely recognized for its precision and reliability. The Silva Ranger features a liquid-damped magnetic needle, declination adjustment, luminous points for low-light visibility, and a clear, easy-to-read baseplate suitable for map reading and land navigation. These items were commonly used by Canadian military personnel from the late 1960s through subsequent decades, supporting essential navigational tasks in a range of operational environments. This set reflects the practical equipment standards of the period and offers insight into mid- to late-20th-century military field gear.
