I looked up Aussie made blades but when that was written it was an unknown maker, I thought maybe an unmarked Madsen, hmmm, regardless these Aussie made ones are pretty scarce. Any others out there?

A "W" would most likely be William Thomas Whitingslowe who owned Whitingslowe Engineering, maker of many knives and other equipment during WW2.

I think the W is Australian, but I cant find an exact reference. Whittingslowe is probably it.

 

have had this one for years. Firmly believe it is Aussie

Finally pulled this out of the drawer. My Aussie V44 with sheath, unmarked. Bill Walters opined that Gregsteel made this one (page 168 in his book).
