Default What do we think of this

I have always thought of this as a sweetheart but wondered any chance it's a FSC ? It's hallmarked and engraved RHB 24-4-16

I think it might be Seaforth Highlanders, John.

Peter
The hallmark is Edinburgh 1915 maker H.T. (Henry Tatton I believe)

I think, if that is the case, it is rather a nice item.
