Mervyn, thanks for your reply to my posts. The first one, #23 may have been a bit misleading. I think this could have only been an ankle or arm bracelet. I have two of them, matching. the are approx 4.5 inches deep and when uncurled are approx 9 inches long. They have loops of fibre on one side at the end and double beads the other side, I presume to slip into the loops to keep them around the arm/leg. At one time there was a Knobkerrie that came with the collection, however it was lost years ago in a house move. I have since found out that from my older sister that in fact our Aunt was in Natal before the Boar War from about 1886 to the late 1890's and returned to England just before the start of the war. Cheers, Mike
