I was doing some research this weekend and found this about Brunton; "The new 15TDCL compasses are made in China. However, if most 15TDCL compasses are like the one that I am reviewing, they are still very decent compasses." Full article here;

In corresponding with Brunton about the TruArc 15 they replied to me ", the TruArc 15 is made in the USA in Riverton, Wyoming. "
