Original Item: Only One Set Available. A fascinating and original set being a high ranking EIC Naval Bicorn Hat having an old luggage label attached marked in old script “Alan Hyde Gardner”. The hat displays the East India Company logo on the button and considerable silver gimp to have belonged to no less than a Naval Captain or higher.
Offered together with a lovely ivory-hilted straight sword with gilt mounts, displaying the E.I.C. logo on the gilded band around the grip. Still visible are the initials “A.H.G.” for Alan Hyde Gardner now relatively faintly displayed on the sword’s cross guard.
An interesting family set from a known officer with illustrious naval forbears.
