American military compass produced by Wiitnauer factory in New York. Probably this pattern was already in use during the first world war and later used by an Officer.

Is the "well-known and large used" american knife: RH – Pal – 36. Originally designed and built by the Remington Cutlery Company for civil use (RH means Remington Hunter), was then produced by PAL, which had subsequently purchased the factory and the production of Remington, maintaining the original acronym RH pattern 36. Must be remembered how the knife was privately acquired, not supplied by the U.S.A. Administration, but still had great success among the troops of land, sea and air. The one, we present, belonged, with all probability, to a member of the 2nd U.S.A. Infantry Division which has, as his own insignia, a feathered Indian head. This division was distinguished during the 2nd G.M. in Normady and in the Belgium Ardennes. The knife is in excellent conditions, as well as his own original leather scabbard which is adorned with 2 beautiful Indian heads in silver, the result of a customization. A real piece of history!
