The Type 12 Compass is alive and well. Silva is now part of a larger company. Brunton, Nexus, and Johnson. The Compass is produced by Silva, but no longer has the Silva logo on the back. It simply reads, "Type 12 - Sweden". I have spoke with Ryan at Brunton and he assures me that the compass is still a Silva, but due to changes in the the company, they had made some changes. The compass runs about 11.00 dollars, and maybe about 2 to 3 bucks for shipping. Hope this helps.
