This silver lion commemorates the service of the 4th (Militia) Battalion in South Africa, between January 1900 and June 1901.

Quite frankly, this sort of thing only very seldom enters the marketplace and is certainly not without value, I take it you do not actually own it?

Sadly, no. It's in a museum, along with lots of other regimental silverware. I'm not sure if I should give the location, for safety's sake. What do the ABW members think?

Yes this does come out of the woodwork occasionally..... I remember back in the mid to late 1970's when I was stationed in the UK I attended an auction where there was a large amount of Regimental Silver and China as being sold..... Did not have the funds to buy anything at the time......
