Boer War - WW1 British Military Chaplains Field Communion Kit (A/F)
A most interesting late Victorian / early 20th century army chaplains field communion kit (partial) consisting of a broad arrow marked silver plated chalice and a silver plated paten (small dish), the underside of the paten bears the same makers mark as found inside the early style Gladstone bag but is devoid of a broad arrow mark, possibly a mixed set, not uncommon to find mixed equipment during times of war.
All the other components are now missing, also missing is the small key and leather handle but this could easily be replaced (if required) as the brass D-rings are still present, the leather case has much wear especially to the corners and bottom seams but still remains in solid condition.
I have never encountered or observed such an early looking bag/case before as most found appear to be more box shaped.
Approx. size 12 inches in length x 12 inches high.
Please study the images in regards to condition.
Sorry UK sale only.
