McDermut99 Posted September 5, 2017 Share #2 Posted September 5, 2017 The actual case looks to have been made in England judging by the hallmarks, buts my knowledge stops there. Beautiful engraving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aznation Posted September 5, 2017 Share #11 Posted September 5, 2017 There's so many more records on this person. If you're that interested in his military history I would suggest getting his records from Geoff at Golden Arrow Research http://www.goldenarrowresearch.com/. I've used him before and he's fast, thorough, proficient, and reasonable on his prices. He'll give you a discount if you mention you're a forum member too.
