Hello Rob

Interesting button but not, I would suggest with that backmark, a genuine WW2 example.

The KC version of the button was, of course, produced for years after the end of World War 2. Given the state of world affairs at the time I can see no reason why they would not continue to incorporate an escape compass in a 'post war' RAF button.

Just goes to show that the usual ebay seller description of everything military being WW1 or WW2 period is not always correct; it just makes things sell better.
