One of these is in the upcoming DNW sale described as a Cartouche c.1790-1815 also with an Ordnance Arms example, lot 711. They say it is referenced in Parkyn.

That too is excavated

The Corps of Royal Artillery Drivers (1806-1822) existed under various titles from 1794 to around 1822 or 1824. The purpose of the Corps was to provide Drivers for the Royal Artillery and train the Drivers for the Royal Horse Artillery.

Just don't go and stick it on eBay straight away with out offering it on here first. Im not interested in it, just saying. Its just that we've had new members join just to find out information, then sell the items elsewhere. I hope you do actually keep it, else pass it on to someone here on the Forum to enjoy.

If I to decide to sell anything I'll let you know, I might sell some of my collection in the future to fund a new detector
