Very nice example Brodie and a good area to collect in as the price of these is still quite reasonable.
I have two in the collection including a Lithgow made one with a 7th Australian Lighthorse scabbard which my grandfather bought as a child. I will post them up at some point. The Lithgow Small arms factory is about an hour and a half’s drive from where I live and is now open as a small museum. I’d love a 1907 pattern with hooked quillion one day but as you may be aware the hooks were ground down and original examples are quite scarce and expensive and not to mention also faked.
