Hi everyone,

I've just stumbled across this website - it looks like a really friendly community! Long story short, I have a huge interest in history (mostly early 20th century). I was left a few items by my Grandmother in 2010 and have taken care of them with a vague knowledge of what they are. She had quite a large collection of beautiful armour/weaponry in the 1960s/70s but sold the vast majority to pay for passage to Australia to say goodbye to her Father. The few bits she kept have been passed down to me.

The items are in a range of conditions (as you can see below). I've separated them into a few groups... arrows, what I presume to be musket-ball pouches etc., some horse-head armour/decoration that isn't in great condition at all, and a couple of bits I'm not really sure of their function.

Any input as to probable dates/origins would be appreciated (this will probably be quite varied), and hopefully they're of interest to a couple of people.
