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.    Mervyn

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!

The design of the Flaming Grenade does not look typically British and is perhaps as already mentioned for another nation.
