Jim, Norman
Thank you gentlemen. My initial impression, as I said above was early to mid 19thC, hopefully some kind of commemorative piece from the Napoleonic wars. But I can't think of the connection for the bear? Bearskin hats of course, but a bear in 'uniform'? Unless he represented a particular action or a regimental mascot? These obscure pieces can be a frustrating search! Last edited by Atlantia; 14th August 2010 at 10:35 AM. |

There is so much history in even the simplest items in so many cases, and like the weapons, even these associated pieces have stories to tell. Thank you for joining me in the invitation. All the best, Jim |
