I wouldn't think that a WW1 escape compass would be made in West Germany (May 23rd 1949 - October 3rd 1990). And that aside, the whole idea of an escape compass is to have something that you can conceal about your body when captured.
Cheers,
Steve.

Although at first glance it looks the same, the compass card is completely different. Still a nice item though!

The compass has to be made post 1949 to be marked West Germany.
