Picked this up last weekend. Nice matching 1919 Lithgow bayonet and frog.
Nice, Aussie Military District marking? Who made the frog? Mills 1917?
Nice to have the matching scabbard with the MD on there the frog is also another good find the leather one with the helve strap would have been nice but you'll find that when they come up for sale be prepared to pay big $'s for just that item. Thats about a $400 - $500/Aud depending on who wanted it.
I brought a 5MD 1916 Lithgow and a matching 5MD 1916 Lithgow scabbard both are in excellent condition was not cheap but it matches my 5md 1916 Lithgow MKIII. (5MD Western Australia)
The 2nd Military District was an administrative district of the Australian Army that covered most of New South Wales, with its headquarters in Sydney. The southern border with the 3rd Military District was the Murrumbidgee River rather than the Murray River, and the western part of the state around Broken Hill was part of the 4th Military District.[1]
