West of Scotland Challange Trophy bronze shield. 1901.
Well detailed prize 2.1/4" high engraved to the rear won by L/Cpl J Martin F "Coy"
4/VBRH, at this date they were still officially 1st PRVC.
Lots of symbolism Celtic warrior; Helmeted soldier; Knights jousting; Winged Nikes: Lion Ramant of Scotland; St. Andrew and Cross. There is a very tiny inscription running around the last raised outline of the inner shield. You need a X20 eyeglass to read it much of it is abbrieviated and separated with *. bear in mind the ledge is only 1/2mm wide.
Left side DEFENCE*NOT*DEFIANCE*AMOR*PATRIA*
Right side ET*VIC*SEM*D*E*I*?*?*L*V*M*

Default 1889 Dance Card

In 1889 the Queen gave her permission for the Battle Honour Mysore to be awarded to the 2nd Battaion Black Watch.
To quote The Highland Furies by Victoria Schofield ISBN 978-1-84916-550-1,
" In the same year on May 22nd in front of a huge crowd new colours were presented by the Queens grandson Prince Albert Victor of Wales accompanied by his brother the future George V. The colours were the first to carry the titles The Black Watch Royal Highlanders."

On the 30th a ball was held to mark the occasion and each man presented with a dance card. The front of which porrays the old colours carried since 1862, verso with the new ones bearing the Mysore honour. The cards were printed by Marcus Ward & Co Belfast and illustrated by the artist Walter Crane. Attached to the card a marker pencil complete with bone suspension finial by William Rodman & Co Belfast frame makers engravers and die-sinkers.

I particularly like the original pencil on it.
Thank you for sharing Ron.

Incredibly esoteric and rare items here. Virtually non existent here in the US.
