Im looking at compasses and noticed that DGX sells the $40 and it says Italy on it. I do an amazon search on some compasses and also see made in Italy. Those are around $80 as well. I look on Aliexpress and they have a $20 one. 5 stars, over 250 user reviews.
I know brass and glass SPG come out of Italy, but what about the compass? Im definitely not spending $80 on a compass. DGX $40 is reasonable. I tried googling compass made in Italy and all I get is Jeep Compass made in Italy stuff. I did read some history on compasses and it Flavio Gioja perfected the sailor compass.
So what's the deal on compasses?
