British Medals & Militaria

OCTOBER 2023 HIGHLIGHTS & NEWS

We start our Highlights for October with a fine and extremely rare Napoleonic period Military General Service Medal with Corunna clasp to Private James Weatherspoon with the Scottish Cameronian 26^th Regiment of Foot. The medal survives completely untouched within its original issue cardboard box with ink inscribed lid. A ‘gem’ of a medal, and incredible to find such an old medal still retaining its original issue box.

Our second Highlight is a fine Royal Flying Corps cockpit watch manufactured by the prestigious Swiss firm of Omega. Dating from 1916, the watch has a classic black dial and silvered numbers. The reverse with the war Department arrow, along with the ‘A’ abbreviation for Aviation.

The last Highlight is  a stunning Lord Lieutenant’s uniform belonging to Major David McCowan of the 8^th Scottish Rifles. In 1920 he became Deputy Lieutenant of Glasgow. The typical scarlet uniform tailored by the famous firm of Henry Poole, Saville Row, London. The uniform complete with the ornate brocade belt, buckle, and cross strap.
