Hi zeus73,I have had a look on the net and your compass is as you say an officers issue compass,this design of compass was in production before the first world war,the 1932 denotes when the manufacturers,Francis Barker became a limited company,from what I can see on some auction sites they are sought after,one for sale at $275 US,
Hope this helps,
