I am still looking for info on this and I found this tidbit of info that points to the suggestion above....
From another EBAY Auction!!!

Description (revised)
You are bidding on a BuckMaster knife in it's original box with all accessories and paperwork. This is in excellent condition There are some marks on the side of the knife, but there is a notice in the box which reads "Please Note! Because of the vitally important locking action feature of BuckMaster's unique GripTite sheath, the blade will show marks as you take the knife in and out. NO DAMAGE IS DONE TO THE BLADE; but if desired, these marks may be removed with any good metal polish, such as Flitz". In addition to the papers in the box is also a sample of Flitz polish, although given it's age, I'm not sure if it's still usable.
The only thing that appears to be missing is a compass in the handle. The paperwork refers to it, but I don't see it. However, there is a Silva compass tucked into the sheath pocket which I'm guessing is a replacement. I have that plus the paperwork that goes with it.
This knife comes from a private collection which I will be auctioning off over the next few weeks. The collector was very proud of his collection and treated every piece with care. Keep checking my auctions for more beautiful knives. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me. I can forward additional pictures upon request. Winning bidder to pay shipping and insurance charges. Thanks for looking and happy bidding!

On Jan-24-05 at 14:16:09 PST, seller added the following information:
**Please Note** A helpful e-bayer pointed out that the bonus compass is actually an intended replacement made by Buck Knives. There is a yellow note in the box that points out that it includes a New! Larger Precision Compass because the old compasses were not working properly. So this is not a bonus, but rather as it was intended. Thanks for the info Bob!!

If anybody has a copy of the yellow note described in the auction I would love to see a photo or scan of it if you would! Following is the only pic from the auction that shows the paper...
