    Could you post a picture of the jacket, I and I'm sure other, would like to see it. Also, one of the label.

    Nice Regulation Doublet. Are the buttons actually silver, or are the 'white metal'?

    How have you dated it to 1905? Hall marked silver?

    E. Robertson was proably the owner, not the maker. The sewing on the label looks quite rough, it also appears to be covering some other wording. I wonder if the original maker's or owner's name has been covered up?

    This is what I thought as well this looks like the owners name, it also looks incredibly good given the date of 1905. I find myself wondering if there is another label somewhere else.
