Billy,
I once owned about 29 of these now mostly sold. A WW2 (and possibly later) RAF escape compass which was included in emergency/escape packs. They were also concealed in buttons with a reverse thread. They have been reproduced I believe? https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...75&postcount=7 Tim
