It is composed of two long leather straps, held together by three rivets on the reverse of the far left pocket. The belt itself is 70 mm wide at the front, narrowing to 36 mm at the back. It is vertically stamped with the \"BARROW HEPBURN \u0026amp; GALE, Ltd LONDON\" maker mark and dated \"1922\" to the right of the far right pocket. The belt itself incorporates five pockets for ammunition, each with a 23 mm wide securing strap covered by an overlaying weather protecting flap, each of which is slotted and secured by a common brass post. Each pocket was designed to house five individual rounds, measuring 75 mm wide at the mouth, tapering to 40 mm wide at the bottom and is 95 mm deep. The 70 mm width of the front of the belt is cut out in the middle, creating a 22 mm x 280 mm channel, exposing the backs of the four pockets on the right side. Each of the pockets is held in place by four rivets, two on the top strap and two on the bottom strap. The narrow ends are held together with a triangular bracket: the right side with an addition short strap riveted to the main strap on the reverse, marked on the front but faded with time, with a brass buckle; the left side with eleven factory punched holes for length adjustment, with brass buckle. Suspended from the bottom of the triangular bracket is a 17 mm wide u-shaped strap, triple-slotted and secured by a brass post, the purpose of which was to be attached to the infantryman's waist belt. The bandolier was designed to rest upon the shoulder, one end of the belt resting diagonally on the infantryman's chest, the other diagonally on his back and secured from flapping to the waist belt by the strap on the right side. It was designed to keep ammunition off a soldier's hips, as carrying too much weight on the hips could constrain movement and cause difficulty in retrieving the ammunition.

He served in Burma, the Crimean War, the Indian Mutiny, China, Canada and widely throughout Africa, including his Ashanti campaign (1873–1874) and the Nile Expedition against Mahdist Sudan in 1884-85. Wolesley served as Commander-in-Chief of the Forces from 1895 to 1900. His reputation for efficiency led to the late 19th century English phrase \"everything's all Sir Garnet\", meaning \"all is in order.\" He was born on June 4, 1833 in Golden Bridge, Dublin, the eldest son of Major Garnet Joseph Wolseley of \"the King's Own Scottish Borderers\" (25th Foot) and Frances Anne Wolseley (nee Smith). He was educated in Dublin and first worked in a surveyor’s office. Wolesley obtained a commission as an ensign in the 12th Foot on March 12, 1852 without purchase, in recognition of his father's service. He then transferred to the 80th Foot on April 13, 1852, with whom he served in the Second Anglo-Burmese War. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe was severely wounded in the thigh on March 19, 1853 in the attack on Donabyu and was mentioned in despatches. Promoted to lieutenant on May 16, 1853 and invalided home, Wolseley transferred to the 84th Regiment of Foot on January 27, 1854, and then to the 90th Light Infantry, at that time stationed in Dublin, on February 24, 1854. He was promoted to Captain on December 29, 1854. Wolseley accompanied the regiment to the Crimea, and landed at Balaklava in December 1854. He was selected to be an assistant engineer, and attached to the Royal Engineers during the Siege of Sevastopol. He served throughout the siege, where he was wounded at \"the Quarries\" on June 7, 1855, and again in the trenches on August 30, 1855, losing an eye. After the fall of Sevastopol,Wolseley was employed on the Quartermaster-General's staff, assisting in the embarkation of the troops and supplies, and was one of the last British soldiers to leave the Crimea in July 1856. For his services he was twice mentioned in despatches, received the war medal with clasp, the 5th class of the French Legion of Honour and the 5th class of the Turkish Order of the Medjidie. Six months after joining the 90th Foot at Aldershot, he went with it in March 1857, to join the troops being despatched for the Second Opium War. Wolseley was embarked in the transport Transit which was wrecked in the Strait of Banka. The troops were all saved, but with only their personal arms and minimal ammunition. They were taken to Singapore, and from there were dispatched to Calcutta on account of the Indian Mutiny. Wolseley distinguished himself at the relief of Lucknow under Sir Colin Campbell in November 1857, and in the defence of the Alambagh position under Outram, taking part in the actions of December 22, 1857, of January 12, 1858 and January 16, 1858, and also in the repulse of the grand attack of February 21, 1858. That March, he served at the final siege and capture of Lucknow. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe was then appointed deputy-assistant quartermaster-general on the staff of Sir Hope Grant's Oudh division, and was engaged in all of the operations of the campaign, including the actions of Bari, Sarsi, Nawabganj, the capture of Faizabad, the passage of the Gumti and the action of Sultanpur. In the autumn and winter of 1858–59 he took part in the Baiswara, trans-Gogra and trans-Rapti campaigns ending with the complete suppression of the rebellion. For his services he was frequently mentioned in despatches, and having received the Mutiny medal and clasp, he was promoted to Brevet Major on March 24, 1858 and to Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel on April 26, 1859. Wolseley continued to serve on Sir Hope Grant's staff in Oudh, and when Grant was nominated to the command of the British troops in the Anglo-French expedition to China of 1860, accompanied him as the Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster-General. He was present at the action at Sin-ho, the capture of Tang-ku, the storming of the Taku Forts, the Occupation of Tientsin, the Battle of Pa-to-cheau and the entry into Peking (during which the destruction of the Chinese Imperial Old Summer Palace was begun). He assisted in the re-embarkation of the troops before the winter set in. He was Mentioned, yet again, in despatches, and for his services received the medal and two clasps. On his return home he published the Narrative of the War with China in 1860. He was given the substantive rank of Major on February 15, 1861.  In November 1861, Wolseley was one of the special service officers sent to Canada in connection with the Trent incident. In 1862, shortly after the Battle of Antietam, Wolseley took leave from his military duties and went to investigate the American Civil War. He befriended Southern sympathizers in Maryland, who found him passage into Virginia with a blockade runner across the Potomac River. There he met with Generals Robert E. Lee, James Longstreet and Stonewall Jackson. He also provided an analysis on Lieutenant-General Nathan Bedford Forrest. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe New Orleans Picayune (April 10, 1892) published Wolseley's ten-page portrayal of Forrest, which condensed much of what was written about him by biographers of the time. This work appeared in the Journal of the Southern Historical Society in the same year, and is commonly cited today. Wolseley addressed Forrest's role at the Battle of Fort Pillow near Memphis, Tennessee in April, 1864 in which black USCT troops and white officers were alleged by some to have been slaughtered after Fort Pillow had been conquered. Wolseley wrote, \"I do not think that the fact that one-half of the small garrison of a place taken by assault was either killed or wounded evinced any very unusual bloodthirstiness on the part of the assailants.\" Wolseley returned to Canada where he became a brevet colonel on 5 June 1865[5] and Assistant Quartermaster-General in Canada with effect from the same date.[17] He was actively employed the following year in the defence of Canada from Fenian raids launched from the United States. He was appointed Deputy Quartermaster-General in Canada on 1 October 1867.[18] In 1869 his Soldiers' Pocket Book for Field Service was published,[19] and has since run through many editions. In 1870, he successfully commanded the Red River Expedition to establish Canadian sovereignty over the Northwest Territories and Manitoba.[19] Manitoba had entered Canadian Confederationwhen the Hudson's Bay Company transferred its control of western Canada to the government of the Dominion of Canada. British and Canadian authorities ignored the pre-existing Government of Assiniobia and botched negotiations with its replacement, the Métis's rebel Provisional Government headed by Louis Riel. The campaign to put down the rebellion was made difficult by the poor communications at the time. Fort Garry (now Winnipeg), the capital of Manitoba was a small centre separated from Ontario by the rocks and forests of the Canadian Shield region. The easiest route to Fort Garry did not pass through the United States and was through a network of rivers and lakes extending for six-hundred miles from Lake Superior, infrequently traversed by non-aboriginals, and where no supplies were obtainable. The admirable arrangements made and the careful organization of the transport reflected great credit to the commander (Wolseley), who upon his return home was made a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George on 22 December 1870, and a Companion of the Order of the Bath on 13 March 1871.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppointed assistant adjutant-general at the War Office in 1871, he furthered the Cardwell schemes of army reform. In 1873, Wolseley commanded the expedition to the Ashanti, and having made all his arrangements at the Gold Coast before the arrival of the troops in January 1874, was able to complete the campaign in two months, and re-embark them for home before the unhealthy season began. This was the campaign which made him a household name in Britain. At the Battle of Amoaful on January 31st of that year, Wolseley's expedition faced the numerically superior Chief Amankwatia's army in a four hour battle. They advanced through thick bush in loose squares, and after five days' fighting, ending with the Battle of Ordashu, entered the capital Kumasi which he burned. He received the thanks of both houses of Parliament and a grant of £25,000, was promoted to Brevet Major-General for distinguished service in the field on April 1, 1874, received the medal and clasp and was made Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George on March 31, 1874, and a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath. The freedom of the City of London was conferred upon him with a sword of honour, and he was made honorary DCL of Oxford and LL.D of Cambridge Universities. On his return home, he was appointed Inspector-General of auxiliary forces with effect from April 1, 1874. However, in consequence of the indigenous unrest in Natal, he was sent to that colony as Governor and General-Commanding on February 24, 1875. Wolseley accepted a seat on the Council of India in November 1876 and was promoted to the substantive rank of Major-General on October 1, 1877. Having been promoted to Brevet Lieutenant-General on March 25, 1878, he went as High-Commissioner to the newly acquired possession of Cyprus on July 12, 1878, and in the following year to South Africa to supersede Lord Chelmsford in command of the forces in the Zulu War, and as Governor of Natal and the Transvaal and the High Commissioner of Southern Africa. Wolseley with his 'Ashanti Ring' of adherents was sent to Durban. But on arrival in July, he found that the war in Zululand was practically over, and after effecting a temporary settlement, he went on to the Transvaal. He was promoted to Brevet General while serving in South Africa on June 4, 1879. Having reorganized the administration there and reduced the powerful King, Sekhukhune, to submission, he returned home in May 1880 and was appointed Quartermaster-General to the Forces on July 1, 1880. For his services in South Africa, he received the South Africa Medal with clasp, and was advanced to Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath on June 19, 1880.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn April 1, 1882, Wolseley was appointed Adjutant-General to the Forces, and in August of that year, given command of the British forces in Egypt under Muhammad Ali and his successors to suppress the Urabi Revolt. Having seized the Suez Canal, he then disembarked his troops at Ismailia and, after a very short campaign, completely defeated Urabi Pasha at the Battle of Tel el-Kebir, thereby suppressing yet another rebellion. For his services, he received the thanks of Parliament and the medal with clasp, was raised to the peerage as Baron Wolseley, of Cairo and of Wolseley in the County of Stafford, received from the Khedive the 1st class of the Order of Osmanieh, and was promoted to the substantive rank of General on November 18th.  On September 1, 1884, Wolseley was again called away from his duties as Adjutant-General, to command the Nile Expedition for the relief of General Gordon and the besieged garrison at Khartoum. Wolseley unusual strategy was to take an expedition by boat up the Nile, disembarking at Suakin, and crossing the desert to Khartoum, whilst the naval boats went on to Khartoum. The expedition arrived too late; Khartoum had been taken, and Gordon was dead. In the spring of 1885, complications with Imperial Russia over the Panjdeh Incident occurred, and the withdrawal of that particular expedition followed. For his services there, he received two clasps to his Egyptian medal, the thanks of Parliament, and on August 19, 1885 was created Viscount Wolseley, of Wolseley in the County of Stafford, and a Knight of the Order of St Patrick. At the invitation of the Queen, the Wolseley family moved from their former home at 6 Hill Street, London to the much grander Ranger's House in Greenwich in autumn 1888. Wolseley continued at the War Office as Adjutant-General to the Forces until 1890, when he became Commander-in-Chief, Ireland. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe was promoted to Field Marshal on May 26, 1894, and appointed by the Conservative government to succeed the Duke of Cambridge as Commander-in-Chief of the Forces on November 1, 1895. This was the position to which his great experience in the field and his previous signal success at the War Office itself had fully entitled him, but it was increasingly irrelevant. Field Marshal Viscount Wolseley's powers in that office were, however, limited by a new Order in Council, and after holding the appointment for over five years, he handed over the Command-in-Chief to his fellow Field Marshal, Earl Roberts, on January 3, 1901. He had also suffered from a serious illness in 1897, from which he never fully recovered. The unexpectedly large force required for South Africa, was mainly furnished by means of the system of reserves which Wolseley had originated, but the new conditions at the War Office were not to his liking. Upon being released from responsibilities, he brought the whole subject before the House of Lords in a speech. Lord Wolseley was Gold Stick in Waiting to Queen Victoria and took part in the funeral procession following the death of Queen Victoria in February 1901. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn early 1901, Lord Wolseley was appointed by King Edward to lead a special diplomatic mission to announce the King´s accession to the governments of Austria-Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Turkey and Greece. During his visit to Constantinople, the Sultan presented him with the Order of Osmanieh set in brilliants. He was admitted to the Order of Merit on August 9, 1902. and awarded the Volunteer Officers' Decoration on August 11, 1903. He was also Honorary Colonel of the 23rd Middlesex Regiment from May 12, 1883, Honorary Colonel of the Queen's Rifle Volunteer Brigade, the Royal Scots (Lothian Regiment) from April 24, 1889, Colonel of the Royal Horse Guards from March 29, 1895 and Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Irish Regiment from July 20, 1898. In retirement he was a member of the council of the Union-Castle Steamship Company. He died on March 26, 1913 in Menton on the French Riviera and was buried in the crypt of St Paul's Cathedral, London. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46115402481941,"sku":"GB5274","price":125.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/a_period_signed__55a51b62a78b7.jpg?v=1774559201"},{"product_id":"a-first-war-royal-flying-corps-pilot-and-observer-group-photograph-gb5449","title":"A First War Royal Flying Corps Pilot And Observer Group Photograph","description":"Black and white, faded to a sepia-toned look, matte finish, illustrating a Pilot Officer at the left and his Observer at the right, both in full dress uniform, standing in a large grassed courtyard with a neo-Gothic building in the distance, 127 mm x 190 mm, mounted to a 140 mm x 204 mm card, vellum pasted to the reverse, light contact along the top, extremely fine.

His early life was one that made him learn to be adaptable. His father, also Arthur Coningham, was noted for playing Test cricket, but was by disposition, a con man, who was exposed in court for fabricating legal evidence in a trial designed to shake down a Catholic priest, Denis Francis O'Haran, Secretary to the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Sydney. The resulting scandal drove the older Arthur Coningham to remove the Coningham family to New Zealand while Coningham was still young. The change of scene to New Zealand did not change the father's modus operandi: he spent six months imprisoned there for fraud. The young Coningham was resilient enough and sufficiently motivated to win a scholarship to Wellington College. Although Coningham had won a scholarship, he was not an academic star. However, he was athletic and an outdoorsman, with expertise in horsemanship and with firearms. His parents divorced when he was seventeen, on the grounds of his father's infidelity. Arthur Coningham was maturely assured enough to remark, \"Look here, Coningham, you may be my father, but I am ashamed of you.\" The comment reflects Coningham's persona: he was abstemious by nature, being a non-smoker, near teetotaler and impatient with obscene language. Coningham volunteered for service in the First World War with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, in August 1914, initially seeing service in the conquest of German Samoa. He then served in Egypt and Somaliland as a trooper in the Canterbury Mounted Rifle Regiment, and was at Gallipoli, but developed typhoid fever. He was discharged in New Zealand as medically unfit for active service, invalided out of service in March 1916. In April, however, he travelled to Great Britain at his own expense and volunteered for the Royal Flying Corps. He was posted to 32 Squadron on December 19, 1916 after completing his flying instruction and flew numerous patrols between January 5 and July 30, 1917, when he was wounded during an aerial combat and invalided back to Britain. During the Battle of Arras, 32 Squadron undertook systematic strafing of German infantry and lines of communication, particularly suited for the Airco DH.2 machines they operated. Coningham returned to France and was promoted to the rank of Major, placed in command of 92 Squadron on July 1, 1918 at the age of 23. On August 11th, he was wounded again in a particularly intense air combat, but remained in France and resumed flying almost immediately. Through to the end of the war, Coningham's Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5s conducted bombing and strafing attacks against German aerodromes, troops, gun positions and transport. In eleven months at the front, he was engaged in 176 patrols over enemy lines, was credited with the personal destruction of nine enemy aircraft and shared in the destruction of three others with Evander Shapard, Frank Billinge and Arthur Randell. He was also credited with seven victories for having driven down an enemy machine out of control. Coningham emerged from the war with two awards, a Distinguished Service Order and a Military Cross, both earned during his time with 32 Squadron. During that time he had also acquired the nickname \"Mary,\" a corruption of \"Maori\" as a play on his earlier life in New Zealand. After the end of the First World War, Coningham remained in the Royal Air Force, initially remaining as Officer Commanding 92 Squadron. During the early 1920s, he served as a technical and flying instructor before being posted to 55 Squadron flying Airco DH.9As out of Mosul in Iraq. In the summer of 1923, he was promoted to Squadron Leader and appointed as the Officer Commanding of 55 Squadron. From early 1924 to early 1926, he carried out staff officer duties, first at the headquarters of Egyptian Group and then at the headquarters of RAF Middle East. While posted at Egypt Group, Coningham was assigned to lead a detachment of three DH.9As of 47 Squadron on a flight of 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometres) cross country, to introduce the first aircraft to Nigeria, while undertaking \"a training exercise on an extended scale... using ordinary service equipment.\" Leaving Helwan near Cairo on the morning of October 27, 1925, the three aircraft reached Kano, Nigeria without serious incident on November 1st. The return trip, retracing their outward route, began early on November 12th and marked the first trip across Africa by air from west to east. They completed the estimated journey of 6,500 mi (10,500 km) in eighty hours of actual flying time, flying on sixteen of the twenty-four days of the mission, all without major difficulties. Coningham received an award of the Air Force Cross for the achievement. After further service at the Royal Air Force College, Cranwell and the Central Flying School, Coningham was promoted to Wing Commander in 1931. The following year, he was sent to the Sudan as the senior RAF officer, and while there, married Nancy Brooks Frank, widow of Sir Howard Frank, in July 1932. Upon his return to Great Britain in 1935, he took up staff duties in Coastal Area\/Coastal Command before being promoted to Group Captain on January 1, 1937, serving as the Senior Air Staff Officer at the Headquarters of No. 17 (Training) Group. From 1937 to 1939, Coningham was the Officer Commanding RAF Calshot, a flying boat base. Coningham began the Second World War as an Air Commodore, commanding Bomber Command's 4 Group, which he led for two years including the first year of the bombing offensive against Germany. His group was small, seldom numbering more than sixty air crews in total for the first part of the war, and unlike the rest of Bomber Command, conducted its operations at night. Consequently, nearly all of the missions of its Whitley bombers before March 19-20, 1940 were for the delivery of propaganda leaflets over German territory against comparatively ineffective defences. During the remainder of 1940, 4 Group attacked targets in Italy, until these were allotted to 3 Group in December, and targets in the Ruhr, all of small scale and causing little damage. Coningham received a promotion in September to Air Vice-Marshal. In November, area bombing began, again on a small scale, and continued throughout the winter. 4 Group was just beginning to expand and convert its equipment to Handley Page Halifax bombers when Coningham was transferred. In July 1941, he was called to Egypt by Air Marshal Arthur Tedder, head of RAF Middle East Command, to take over 204 Group from Air Vice-Marshal Raymond Collishaw. Two months later, to match its growing size and its status with the newly formed Eighth Army, the group was transformed into the Western Desert Air Force. Coningham inherited a poorly functioning situation, where the Royal Air Force was almost totally failing to support ground troops. He promptly delegated out technical duties to those he trusted and did not micromanage them. However, he held his subordinates strictly responsible for achieving the results he wanted. Any mistakes by his underlings that resulted in fatalities to friendly troops were grounds for dismissal by Coningham. Faced with equipment shortages, a hostile desert environment, and superior enemy planes, Coningham's management system, through judicious deployment of his squadrons, gradually achieved air superiority in the North African campaign. In particular, he developed the use of fighter-bombers, able to fight as fighter planes in the air or in bombing and strafing attacks of enemy ground targets. He also developed an efficient ground support system to keep planes flying, and a command and control system to allow ground observers to radio in air attacks. Coningham's Western Desert Air Force, in continuous air attacks of enemy ground targets, was instrumental in stopping the enemy offensive at El Alamein in July 1942. He formed a close relationship with the new commander of the British Eighth Army, General Bernard Montgomery. Both Coningham and Montgomery recognized the importance of joint operations. The air power doctrine devised by Coningham is the basis of modern joint operations doctrine. The dominance of the Allied air force was a critical factor in the British victory at the Second Battle of El Alamein in November 1942. His doctrine of tactical air power would reach its fruition in early 1943, when the Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Force fighter-bombers and bombers attacked enemy land forces. Coningham's doctrine was fundamental. He stated that the greatest attribute of air power was its ability to speedily concentrate its force. It followed that its command must also be concentrated. Tactical air power had to be closely coordinated with the ground forces, but the army could not command it. He stated as much in a pamphlet that was widely distributed, to every ranking officer in North Africa, so that they would know what to expect. The pamphlet included Coningham's priorities for success in use of tactical air power. First, gain air superiority. Second, use the air superiority gained to interdict enemy reinforcements of men and material to isolate the battlefield. Third, combine air attacks with ground assaults on the front lines. Coningham was knighted after El Alamein and continued to provide tactical air support for the Eighth Army until they occupied Tripoli in January 1943. Later in 1943, Coningham was promoted to Air Marshal and directed tactical air force operations in the Allied invasion of Sicily and Italy as commander of the Northwest African Tactical Air Force. As the leading exponent of tactical air warfare, Coningham was the obvious choice to command 2nd Tactical Air Force in the North-West European campaign under Air Marshal Trafford Leigh-Mallory, commanding the Allied Expeditionary Air Forces, and in January 1944 he was recalled to Britain where he helped plan air support for the Normandy landings. His relationship with Montgomery deteriorated markedly after the landings took place. The two often clashed when Montgomery regularly tried to bypass Coningham, who was the designated point of contact for air support requests, and deal directly with Leigh-Mallory. At the end of June, Montgomery lobbied Tedder, now deputy commander to United States General Dwight D. Eisenhower at Supreme Allied Headquarters, for Coningham's removal, after he criticized the army for tardiness in capturing Caen, in order to make available airfields for tactical aircraft. Tedder, however, advised Eisenhower that such removal would be \"a disaster\" and the criticism valid. In August 1944, Montgomery wrote to Alan Brooke that \"Coningham is violently anti-army and despised by all soldiers; my army commanders mistrust him and never want to see him.\" However it was Montgomery who received a rebuke from Eisenhower, while Leigh-Mallory's headquarters was dissolved in October as an unnecessary command echelon. Coningham remained commander of the 2nd Tactical Air Force until July 1945, when he was replaced by Air Chief Marshal Sir Sholto Douglas and appointed head of Flying Training Command. He was a keen yachtsman and in 1947, was appointed Commodore of the Royal Air Force Yacht Club, then based at Calshot, however, he later oversaw the move to the current location at Hamble. Coningham's career ended on August 1, 1947, after thirty years of commissioned service and he requested that his retirement be shown as taking place at his own request. Air Marshal Sir Arthur \"Mary\" Coningham disappeared on January 30, 1948, when the airliner, G-AHNP Star Tiger, in which he was travelling to Bermuda was lost off the east coast of the United States, along with all the other passengers and crew, vanishing without a trace in the Bermuda Triangle.

The traditional Scottish dirk is a development of the second half of the 17th century, when it became a popular item of military equipment in the Jacobite Risings. The modern development of the Scottish dirk into a ceremonial weapon occurred during the 19th century. The shape of the grip developed from the historical more cylindrical form to a shape intended to represent the thistle. Fancier fittings, often of silver, became popular shortly after 1800. The hilts of modern Scottish dirks are often carved from dark colored wood such as bog oak or ebony. Hilts and scabbards are often lavishly decorated with silver mounts and have pommels set with cairngorm stones. The Cairngorm mountain range in the eastern Scottish Highlands was the sole source of this unique mineral, a smoky quartz crystal which took its name from the mountain range in which it was found. Most cairngorm crystals were a deep, rich yellow-brown color, though there were some which were more brown-grey in color. A small amount of ferric oxide in the quartz is what gave cairngorm stones their distinctive colour, and this particular type of smoky quartz was only found in the Cairngorm mountain range of Scotland. The blades are single edged with decorative file work known as \"jimping\" on the unsharpened back edge of the blade. When worn, the dirk normally hangs by a leather strap known as a \"frog\" from a dirk belt, which is a wide leather belt having a large, usually ornate buckle, that is worn around the waist with a kilt. Many Scottish dirks carry a smaller knife and fork which fit into compartments on the front of the sheath, and a smaller knife known as a sgian dubh is also worn tucked into the top of the hose when wearing a kilt.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46123936842005,"sku":"GB6533","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/m18-2889.jpg?v=1692876407"},{"product_id":"united-kingdom-a-victorian-royal-artillery-officers-cross-belt-cartridge-pouch-gb6577","title":"United Kingdom.

These heraldic flags are similar to those of the British \"Royal Standard\" in being banners of the nation's arms but feature a device found in the Queen's general personal flag (a blue disc containing a wreath of gold roses encircling a crowned letter \"E\"'). The Royal Standard of the United Kingdom is flown when the Queen is in residence in one of the royal palaces and on her car, ship or aeroplane. It may be flown on any building, official or private, during a visit by the Queen, if the owner or proprietor so requests. It famously replaces the Union Flag over the Palace of Westminster when the Queen visits during the State Opening of Parliament. The Royal Standard was flown aboard the royal yacht when it was in service and the Queen was on board. The only church that may fly a Royal Standard, even without the presence of the Sovereign, is Westminster Abbey, a Royal Peculiar. The Royal Standard is flown at royal residences only when the sovereign is present. If the Union Flag flies above Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle or Sandringham House, it signals that the Queen is not in residence. In 1934, King George V permitted his subjects in Scotland to display the ancient Royal Standard of Scotland as part of his silver jubilee. Today, it flies above Holyrood Palace and Balmoral Castle when the Queen is not in residence. When the Queen attends Parliament at the Palace of Westminster, the Royal Standard flies from Victoria Tower. Unlike the Union Flag, the Royal Standard is never flown at half-mast, even after the demise of the Crown, as there is always a sovereign on the throne.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46127841345813,"sku":"GB7004","price":540.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/ci19_6520.jpg?v=1692889827"},{"product_id":"united-kingdom-a-royal-flying-corps-rfc-shoulder-flash-pair-c1918-m0014-82","title":"United Kingdom.
