Mervyn Mitton Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Hi Peter - welcome to GMIC. There has to be a possibility that they are British Artillery ceremonial stirrups - there is a 'flaming grenade' at the top. However, many Countries also used this and they are 'flash' enough to be Italian. Did you buy them in Israel ? If I'm wrong I'm sure another member will tell us.

peter monahan Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I agree with Mervyn that they are perhaps a bit flashy for British issue, which were generally steel, not brass. And, the grenade is a fairly universal symbol - French and Italians used it as well as British and certainly other countries as well. very nice looking items, however.Welcome to the Forum too![also] Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry B Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 The design of the Flaming Grenade does not look typically British and is perhaps as already mentioned for another nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
