Silver Chinese Shoe
Artefact
|
| Silver Chinese show, circa 1912 |
This item was presented to the Officers of 27th Inniskillings by Lieutenant Colonel AI Hancocks as a memento of his command of the Battalion in China 1911 – 1912.
There are further markings on the base which are difficult to read but suggest that the original value might have been $50.83 when purchased or commissioned in Tientsin in January 1912.
The shape is thought to resemble that of a Chinese shoe.
