From: "Tim Jeffreys", [EMAIL PROTECTED]
A few years ago I donated a trophy box that I had acquired from an antiques
fair to the Artists Rifles Club for their display cabinets.
It was a small walnut box, approx. 5" x 7", with a blue baize lining, which
probably originally contained a .22" four barrel Sharps.
On the lid was a rectangular silver plaque with an 1864 London hallmark.
The plaque was engraved with the following:
1st Middlesex Engineer Volunteers
2nd Art Students Company
Presented by H.C.Crosbie Esq..er (final er raised as superscrpt - Tim)
for highest score at 200, 300 & 600 Yards
Won by SAPPER GOEPEL
July 1864
I don't suppose 21 SAS use Sniders or Sharps either.
Tim.
