Owned by a good friend of mine.

Extremely rare as I have heard.

Look here for details and pictures:

Eriik - I am by no means sure that this is Australian. The Broad Arrow and DD - probably for Department of Defence - indicate that this is British in

origin. I know that Royal Marine Commandos carried them - the knuckle duster is not common. There are numbers and just below the DD is a small

set that looks like RSF. This may be a unit - however, I can only think of the Royal Scots Fusiliers - and I don't know why they should need this

pattern. Perhaps our Members will be able to help with ideas.

Value wise - this is quite a rare pattern. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't fetch in the several hundreds of pounds to a specialised collector.

Perhaps you should contact one of the top London auction houses. Mervyn
