Hi, I found pic related while looking through old stuff. I'd like to know what the sight is for and how to use it. Also what the numbers at the top are. They go by 1000's so I'm guessing they're for measuring stuff. Thanks!
I can provide more pics if needed but the amazon page is right here. https://www.amazon.com/Bukm-Military-Marching-Survival-Climbing/dp/B01GJS2SZG/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1499055505&sr=8-19&keywords=compass

>what the sight is for
Sighting in on an object and measuring an azimuth
>what the numbers at the top are
ruler for a map. the scale is probably printed somewhere on the compass

Azimuth is the name of one of my favourite fetish pornstars.
to give you an exact heading. you could survey with it. but it would be a real shitty survey.
The scale is in degrees
And in Mils, military lensatic compass. Units used mostly by artillery.
The ring is illuminated for night use. And each click corresponds to 3 degrees.
The line on the lid and "sight" are for getting more accurate Azimuths, or aiming to walk long stretches.

military compass is made to be used with military maps. it's very awkward to use it with any other map. the angles are not in degrees but mils which is useful to call in an artillery strike not so useful to determine your heading.

it's not degrees scale it's a rough 5 degrees and 50 mils.
