Default RCAF button compass

My grandfather was a Squadron Leader in the RAF in Egypt during the early part of the war. He was with intelligence. Although he has passed on, several of the items he passed on to me were several compass styles, including one in the RCAf button. Another was on the end of a tie stud. Another pair were made out out a pair of thin metal buttons, one with a neddle to support the second. I also have two other that were supposedly sewn into the corner of a tunic. In addition I have a small hacksaw that was also part of a kit. I will attempt to take some photos and try to upload this weekend.
