One more U Boot Sailor, 1916, very dirty, perhaps one of the engine mechanics. Can't make out the remainder of Cap Tally other then TORPEDO, and what might be ABTEILUNG (See what looks like ABT)

Checking around  bit I found this good description of the nature of the Guardia Civil.   the Guardia Civil is a unique Spanish law enforcement agency with a military nature (a gendarmerie), organized along military lines and responsible for civil policing, but falls under the dual authority of the Ministry of the Interior (for civil policing) and the Ministry of Defence (for military missions), acting as a bridge between military and civilian security. It's not a branch of the Army but a separate armed body that handles public safety, rural policing, border control, and customs, distinct from the regular Armed Forces but sharing military structure and discipline. 

Ah Mike sorry forgot to add, no, apparently that was the common belief, but in the case of these knives, an Australian commando knife manufactured by Whittingslowe Engineering in 1944, the "I" combined with a broad arrow specifically stands for "Inspected".  This marking indicates that the weapon was officially accepted into military service after passing government quality control. While many Commonwealth knives use this mark to denote Indian ownership, on Whittingslowe knives, it is a standard Australian Army inspection/acceptance stamp.  this is widely accepted nowadays on these particular knives, not an Indian stamp. The contract was a US contract in 1944 for Australia to make a local alternative for US troop based in Aus to use in New Guinea & the pacific, it was also adopted by Australian commandos.   The knife is ok, the scabbard I’m not sure, but also there where different makers for the scabbard, but just can’t find one anywhere that has the same look🤷‍♂️ this history game hey, a lot of piecing together through lost arts😁

Danny,   Not exactly sure what you have there - probably a bit of a Frankenknife.   The crow's foot with 'I' tells me that it (or that part of the hilt) was made in India.   Best   Mike

Avoid it as you would a ginger-headed step child.

Yes, but more specifically for Japanese Army masks, the Navy's were different. This piece along with a plastic/bakelite syringe or dropper go in small pockets on the inside of the Army mask carrier. For some reason they were a popular bring back item for US service members.    Scott

Well that is interesting.  mikie

At Sandhurst again this time in 1946.      

Kinda bizarre photo, we guess the vehicle broke down??? Have to move it away with a Horse???   Reichswehr unit unknown, got to be one of those embryonic phony panzer units though.

A real nice view of the tunic, a Victory Parade in Poland, maybe the big one in Warsaw.

Hi guys   Recently I was gifted an Australian WW2 1944 whittingslowe made Commando knife that was made for the US troops as a local alternative for the New Guinea/Pacific theater. As you can tell by the condition, it has been well used and sharpened within an inch of its life😁 it has all the correct markings for this maker, so the knife is a fantastic used era correct piece, it’s just the scabbard that I do not think is correct or original to this knife. Has anyone seen a scabbard like this before? It has a 1944 stamping on the leather, the leather doesn’t smell, but the rivets also look abit suss for the era🤷‍♂️ what are your thoughts, any help identifying would be great😁   Repro. Authentic?

A locally made piece most likely presented to personnel involved in the delivery of the aircraft.
