Nice piece!
The interior pocket is for nails, and the case would have been attached to the girth strap or alternately a troopers 'V' girth on the saddle.

Sorry for those pics they dont look that good :P And the stamp is reversed for some reason :/
Anyway thanks for replying and pointing out what the "pocket" was used for )
Is the maker British or Australian?
It's British. The company was running for over 200 years under various guises before closing in the 1970's.
