Thanks to everyone who responded to my initial query about the brass
Brunton. Tom Walker was the first to reply, followed by CaverPete Lindsley.
Not surprisingly, Pete was the only one who "noted around 30 differences
with an authentic Brunton." Everyone who followed expressed a similar
opinion as Tom and Pete.

Logan, I bought a Brass Brunton several years ago off eBay, and the
seller claimed it was an authentic antique. NOT! It is a lower precision
“look alike”, made in India along with similar artsy transits and the
like. As I recall, comparing it to the other 3-4 “real” Bruntons I have,
I noted around 30 differences with an authentic Brunton. Nice to look
at, but not a precision instrument. It took about a month to get my
money back (~$30-40).
It was a pleasure to have this discussion. There are plenty more
cave/caver subjects that would be of interest and fulfill what I think
are the original goals of these forums.
