Marshall & Sons of 87 George St Edinburgh silver smiths traded between 1835 to 1890 and made numerable items for Scottish Regiments, remember you must under stand the history of the Regimental item worn by Officers and Soldiers, for example all items worn by the Pipers of the King's Own Scottish Borderers were paid for by the Officers of the Regiment and not from the public purse as per a General Order in the 1850's, so one would expect some items not to carry silver marks, like this case it is plated silver and gilt.
