(Kompass) John Ritter von Bézard patented the compasses in several countries at the same time including the German Empire, Hungary, England, France, Russia, Switzerland, North America and Japan.

The compass has a black nylon cord that extends from the top ring, through a slot in the flap to secure the compass while carrying. "Direktion" is etched to the aluminum hinged lid above a key hole opening. The civil compass was made up of 360 degrees. The arrow shaped pointer is glued in place on a magnetic needle with wax. The inside lid, as in other early model’s, has a cardboard arrow attached by two screws. This was used to indicate the marching direction. The reverse of the casing shows "Patent-Bézard" "D.R.P.-157329" which is the patent for the German Empire (November 25, 1902). Also present is the maker mark for Georg Luft.
