The good old "broad arrow" used to mark Australian military kit for decades....everything has a broad arrow on it somewhere, even trucks and armoured vehicles....it was originally a British mark, again to mark property of the monarch, in fact, convict uniforms in the 18th century were covered in large broad arrows, to denote the convicts as the monarchs property!
