Re: Looking for info on some Aussie items
G'day Mate,
Duffel bag could be post war, could be....I would be thinking Korea, Swagger stick looks like a classic example of trench art and could well be Aussie. Depends on where you got it and if you are able to find out some history on it. Bayonet frog I have no idea on, but there are a few blokes here who are all over this stuff. Reneblacky is a subject matter expert on this and may be able to enlighten you more that I can! I love the swagger stick, a unique item and one to hold on to.
Welcome to the forum!

G'day Pete,
The frog is definitely patt 15 Aussie made for a 07 bayo -I've seen this inspectors stamp on the rear,the same is also present on my patt 15 water bottle yokes made by W.H Hunter Melbourne- you can faintly see the same inspectors JK stamp here
