The FB 1605 NATO Survival compass, also known as the Francis Barker SAS Survival Compass, is a tiny brass button compass that has a jeweled bearing and is built to full military specifications for survival use. This "brass button" compass is a standard NATO inventory item, NSN 6605 99 522 0223, as specified by the British Army.

The FB 1605 NATO SAS Survival Compass has been designed to hold up under the 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.
