I don't know too much about compasses... So can you buy a compass that you can use worldwide where ever you go? I plan to use my compass mainly in the US, which is where I am from by the way, and also around the Middle East and that whole part of the world.
Are the Silva compasses that are made in Sweden the good ones? What do you think about this type:

These are from the 1960s I believe.
Thank you,
