    Thanks for posting that info.

    One question, are the buckles, brooch, and sporran cantle of solid cast German Silver? Perhaps then silver-plated?

    I personally would love inspecting the sporran.

    Do you mean the soccer team? I have never heard of a society called that.

    Soccer Team? No, the Glasgow Celtic Society was one of a number of similar organisations that were popular in the 19th century but most had disappeared by the time of the First World War. The Royal Celtic Society is possibly the sole surviving example in Scotland.

    Weird as it is, the "aye" button was missing from the OP. So, thanks, Peter. Always enjoy these.

    Apologies Richard, I missed this one. German Silver as I recall. The whole outfit was on the cheap end of the scale compared with many of that time. Very much for effect over substance.
