Re: compass
That is a really cool looking compass! Simple, but of course I love the outer design.

Re: compass
at first glance I thought it was a cheap button-compass set into the end of a shotgun shell.

Re: compass
I wouldn't say that it's totally useless. With practice and a map it could be very useful, it is similar to the escape compasses of WW2.
