The FB 1605 NATO SAS Survival

harshest environments and during WWII, was even swallowed by military
pilots during capture so that it could later be used as an escape
compass. This SAS NATO button compass was also often sewn into clothes to prevent
its loss and to ensure that its owner always had a compass
available.
