militaria item Boer War commemorative ashtray
- British
This little tinware ashtray (4.25 x 3.25 inches) has patriotic motifs printed on it, together with the image of Major General French flanked by soldiers with lions at their feet. The maker's logo, A. Lloyd & Sons Ltd London, can be read just above 'Soldiers of the Queen' (with my magnifying glass, at least!).

militaria item Silver shoe buckle, naval officer's?
- European
This fine buckle (the pair is missing) has a French mint acceptance stamp in the shape of a boar's head, which came in in 1838. This does not necessarily relate to the date of the manufacture of the piece, which, in style terms, is closer to the Napoleonic Wars as, by 1838, buckled shoes had gone out of use except perhaps at court.

militaria item Pair of Prussian trench art ashtrays
- German
These are slightly unusual trench art products, inasmuch as they appear to be made from sheet brass, possibly cut from a shell case, but the unusual decorative feature is the centrepiece which in each case is the central device from a Prussian waist buckle, one with a deep crown and one with a shallow one.
