Latest Find - Calgary Easter Gun Show

[QSAMIKE]

Good Evening Everyone.....

OMG the Calgary Show looks as it it is going to be great.....

895 - 4' x 8' Tables..... and at least 50% Militaria.....

Have not had a chance to look all around yet.....

But....

I did pick up one very nice piece.....

I know it is not a gun or a medal.....

But.....

I have never seen it before.....

Here are some pictures.....

Really nice looking! I presume it is high end patriotic commemorative piece?

Any nice early British ribbon bars there?

[Mervyn Mitton]

Mike - a lovely piece - is it Doulton ? I can't quite read the panel - is it Boer War ? We will look forward to seeing

all of your other purchases. Mervyn

Very nice, old Roberts, this seems to have come out after the Transvaal and Free State fell, but before the start of the guerilla phase of the war... so very easy to pinpoint the date.

fantastic piece!!!

Good Morning Mervyn.....

The manufacturer is Coalport, they also put out a fantastic tyg which I will post later.....

The inside panel reads "Baden-Powell" on the top and "Mafeking" on the bottom.....

Proof positive that there is more to life (collecting life) than guns and medals that are worth while.

Very nice, and I would think rare, find Mike; well done.

Regards
