This is a hard to find example of the work of Henry Potter & Co. From 1919 this painted miniature drum measures 3 1/4″ tall and is 2 3/4″ in diameter. It states 1st BATTALION THE BORDER REGIMENT. The medal shows CHINA. There is paint loss. But the color is strong and vibrant. One section of twine is broken and missing vellum. The top has been painted. I believe the photographs give an accurate read.
This is a splendid quality example of a tunic uniform of the combined 5th Royal Irish and 16th Queens Lancers Regiments displaying King’s Crown on the buttons making the issue date between 1901 and 1952. Included are the shoulder devices which are also in excellent condition. The item “5th Royal Irish & 16th Queens Lancers Uniform w.
