» How long will the tritium last?
Tritium has a "Half-life" of almost twelve and a half years. Experience proves that the strength of tritium, between 10 and 12 years old, begins to decline rapidly. We generally tell people to expect "A good ten years" out of our tritium micro lights. Of course, the compass may be used for longer periods of time, but the night time luminous feature will fade rapidly after 10-12 years.
» I lost my instruction booklet, how can I get another?
Simply e-mail your request to us and provide your name and mailing address. A replacement Instructional Booklet will be sent to you at no charge.
» Is the cost of custom engraving refundable?
The engraving that you receive will exactly match the lettering that you enter in to the optional text box. The cost of custom engraving is non-refundable.
» Is the lensatic compass liquid filled?
No! Only cheap, imported imitations of the CAMMENGA lensatic compass contain liquid. CAMMENGA lensatic compasses slow the needle via induction dampening and avoid the problems associated with liquid fill.
» What font will the engraving be done in?
All engraving is done in Times New Roman font. The size of the font depends on the number of characters to be engraved.
» What is the "SWAT" version lensatic compass?
The SWAT model is the same as Model 3H except for the color. Model 3H is military olive drab. Model B3H, also known as the "SWAT" version is finished with a low luster black powder coat finish. It is popular with a variety of law enforcement agencies.
How can I determine when my Lensatic Compass was manufactured?
The manufactured date can be found on the inside of the compass cover next to the sight wire. In most cases it will be displayed as a series of 3 pairs of numbers: ## ## ##
This format stands for the year, month, and lot number. For example: If the compass was made in January of 2004 the date would be displayed 04 01 77. The lot number 77 is a generic number for compasses made outside of a government contract.
On some compasses, the date would be displayed as the year followed by the Julian date. The Julian date is simply the number of days that has passed in a given year 1-365. This would be displayed as a single number followed by three numbers: # ###
For example: If a compass was made on the first of January, 1994 the date would be displayed as 4 001. If a compass was made on the last day of December, 1993 the date would be displayed as 3 365
