Assistance Required with Values and ID
I was wondering if I could get some help with identifying these items and as well determining value ? These are all items I collected when I was a child. Any help would be appreciated ! I have more photos of marks but I did not want to overload this post.

The first one up is a bayonet I recieved from my great uncle, he was a Canadian paratrooper in WW2.

I received this with a gun I bought, it fits my Sterling so I assume it is for a Sten Gun, it is marked 1947.

I think the brass tube might be from a butt of a British 303, it has markings on the bottom.

Came from my great uncle the paratrooper, the black leg things he said came from a special group, I can't remember what that group was now. I assume the netting is for a helmet.

Cleaning kit, unknown (wallet maybe?), sewing kit.

Here's an excellent web site with a lot of great information about oilers and their various markings.
Lee Enfield Oilers (click here)
Here's a page on that site, where he sells various types of oilers.

This appears to be part of the standard 1937 Webbing Set. You can compare it against the full set and see what's missing.
Check the 85 picture photo montage of the 1937 Pattern - WWII British Webbing Set (click here), displayed in the England - Milsurp Knowledge Library (click here)

The first bayonet is for a Ross, many were used as fighting knives. The second one is for a No.5 jungle carbine. The Sterling took the same bayonet as the No.5.

The black anklets were worn by the Winnipeg Rifles, I think.

You may be right, I did a little research on the net and the Royal Winnipeg Rifles had a relationship with black.
