excellent stuff - also highly amused by the promo picture of the lady pouting with a telescope, or perhaps i just don't understand the brass-telescope-buying demographic as well as they do.

Stanley London's fantastic, and they have excellent service. My mum bought me an engraved compass from them for Christmas last year and sometime in February a bit of rough use caused the weight on the needle to fall off. I sent it in to them and they not only repaired it but gave it a nice polish and sent me a second compass with a lever on it that locks down the needle so that I can carry one around without worrying it'll get banged up. Both compasses are very high quality workmanship for the price. Can't recommend them highly enough.

I received a brass spyglass this Yule that I believe may have originated from this company. The workmanship is excellent and the construction very sturdy.

Good to know. I'm definitely considering ordering one once I have a bit of cash to spare. Thanks!
