First I have seen like this, I presume some kind of Bayonet knot, perhaps I just haven't paid enough attention before but I have not seen one of these with a stem like this, Green leather strap. Any idea's.

Looks like an NCO knot for mounted troops but with stem. I have a colored enlisted man�s one also with colored stem and I also could not find anything in the reference books about it.

Thanks Wotan, I thought it slightly unusual with the flat stem, I'll have to keep my eyes open in the future.

Cheers

Wotan is correct IMO-however I believe in later days these could have been Land Customs NCO pieces. I have one like this with a gold stem that I believe is Water Customs.
