Description

This Victorian solid sterling silver butt or peg marker is in an excellent condition.

It is clearly hallmarked for Birmingham 1894 with the maker's mark of George Unite. It is a plain rectangle opened via a sprung hinged cover which has a suspension loop. It opens to reveal ten numbered pegs (not marked). The clever design of the peg slots ensure that they don't (all) fall out when it is opened - invariably, some do! It is unusually free from any engravings. The sides show some slight surface abrasions, but nothing that one wouldn't expect from an item of this age.

Dimensions:

Silver Weight: 48g

Length: 5.5cm

Width: 4cm

Depth: 1cm

Complimentary gift wrapping is available on request.

Post and packaging are free within the UK. Overseas buyers please e-mail for postage costs and please note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying.

FAQs

A butt marker is a traditional device used during British game shooting parties to allocate shooting positions, known as butts, to guns by drawing numbered pegs.

Victorian butt markers are commonly crafted from sterling silver, often featuring engraved numbers and fitted cases, occasionally incorporating ivory or bone elements.

Authenticity is verified by examining British hallmarks for the assay office, date letter, and sterling silver standard, alongside assessing the wear and craftsmanship appropriate to the period.

Such collectable items are traditionally displayed on a desk, within a glass cabinet, or on a mantelpiece as part of a curated display of sporting history.

Antique silver should be gently cleaned with a specialized silver cloth to maintain its finish, avoiding harsh abrasive dips that can damage hallmarks or oxidisation.
