Yes as KC says the Swastika on that clip is not at the Nazi angle if it was rotated clockwise 30 degrees it would be the Nazi symbol.

I will have a stab at this the flask may well have been modified but the Boy is Called the Brussels Boy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manneken_Pis I would suggest some sort of tourist piece and unlikely WW1. The other piece although the swastika has been used for centuries its not clear enough in the picture to see how it is orientated. If you look at the Nazi Swastika it sits in a particular  position compared with other countries uses. Looks like it could be some sort of desk top item or for suspending a medal maybe

Hi Bligh judging by the style of the packaging its probably not very old and if you have a look on eBay under either Letter openers or sword paper knives there are similar. I would suggest its not going to be worth lots of money.

you could search forever or you may be lucky. They look like something that may be made by a tribal artisan and its just his/her mark

In my youth here in the UK I worked on a farm,  lots of tractors had similar light mounted on the Mud Guards either side of the driver. These are modern ish but same principle.......http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Massey-Ferguson-35-Butler-lamps-x-2-35x-65-TE20-TEA20-TED20-TEF20-135-light-/331403937052?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4d2936c51c
