Birmingham Case Cigarette Commemorative Engraved Lincoln Manufactured Marksman Regiments Regt Stamped Ware


EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite silver cigarette case, dating back to the tumultuous years of World War I, bears the inscription "To W. D. Brayham, G Coy, 3rd Lincoln Regt. - Marksman 1918." The intricate engraving on the case is a testament to the craftsmanship of the era, with the 3rd Lincoln Regiment's insignia proudly displayed on the lid. The case was manufactured by SB &s Ltd. in Birmingham and stamped with the year 1917. The case's historical significance lies in its connection to the 3rd Lincoln Regiment, a part of the British Army during the First World War. The regiment, also known as the "Cherry Gardens," was a pioneer battalion that saw action on the Western Front. The marksman designation on the case indicates that W. D. Brayham was an exceptional shooter, a skill that would have been essential in the trenches of the Western Front. The silver cigarette case is a poignant reminder of the bravery and dedication of the soldiers who served during World War I. The engraving and the year of manufacture suggest that this case was likely a gift, perhaps presented to W. D. Brayham as a token of appreciation for his service and marksmanship. The commemorative ware label further emphasizes the historical significance of the item, making it a valuable addition to any military history collection. This silver cigarette case is a beautiful and intriguing piece of history, offering a glimpse into the lives of the soldiers who fought in the Great War. Its intricate engraving, historical provenance, and connection to the 3rd Lincoln Regiment make it a must-have for anyone interested in military history or the history of World War I.
