What appears to be a silver watch fob, but inscribed to whom?
Any assistance very much appreciated, thank you. 76923FCC-436B-481A-85FD-BB0EEAB5C84E.jpg E856762F-32FC-4052-8CFC-004FC5250BC2.jpg |

Now that makes perfect sense. Hadn’t thought of that. Thank you.

The ‘Brockhill Cup’ would presumably be a shooting competition?

Not necessarily, could be for any sporting event, Drill, shooting, First Aid etc etc.

Guessing yes (apologies, I updated my original post re. the unit without realising it had already been identified).

Thanks Leigh.
I don’t have a clearer pic, but the owner now tells me the inscription is ‘O G B Jones’. Any theories on ‘KVR’? I think the item might be Kent-related. Thank you. |
