gordon92 Posted 25 November , 2014 Share Posted 25 November , 2014 gordon92, Great display as usual, I spotted this very nice WW1 Black Watch officer's painting, in which he is wearing a Black Watch officer's uniform which I am sure you are familiar with. Regards, LF Here are the details of the painting :- Captain Talbert Stevenson, MC and Bar 4th/5th Battalion The Black Watch (killed in action, 14th November 1917) by Anton Abraham van Anrooy ( Oil on canvas , 90 x 69.5 cm ) Captain Talbert Stevenson was the son of the proprietor of the leading Dundonian dye works Francis Stevenson & Sons and was killed by sniper fire in 1917 aged 22 when serving with The Black Watch in the First World War. Talbert Stevenson is one soldier who features in Joseph Gray's 'After Neuve Chapelle'. This painting of Stevenson was shown at the Fine Art Exhibition in the sitter's native Dundee in 1920. C/o The Black Watch Castle & Museum That is a fantastic image, LF. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I had not noticed it at The Black Watch Museum the last time I was there, so I wonder if it is on permanent display. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaki Posted 1 April , 2015 Author Share Posted 1 April , 2015 .Militaria displayed hasn't done much lately, so I thought I would throw in this latest purchase M1900 FN Browning ,32acp/ 7.65mm? Belgian Army Great War, manufactured about 1903, lanyard loop about 80% blueing, friendly price, no holster yet, haven't had a chance to test it yet. For your viewing pleasure. khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khaki Posted 7 April , 2015 Author Share Posted 7 April , 2015 One of those odd items that I like, a shrapnel ball with a barbed wire fragment deeply imbedded in it. khaki (ps) a little blurred, photo through glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaki Posted 7 April , 2015 Author Share Posted 7 April , 2015 My adjutant, Major Somebody, I think the cap is post ww1 so it's a bit photo cropped. The cap badge by the way is the General Service badge, the tunic is named to a Major (wartime temporary Lt Colonel.)khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaki Posted 7 April , 2015 Author Share Posted 7 April , 2015 Another small but 'neat' item, two flattened rifle/MG bullets attached by twine to an old business card belonging to a US lieutenant of WW!, the card has typed information reading, "A couple of bullets that struck a stone pile that I was in". Nice, close to the action, souvenir. khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wainfleet Posted 8 April , 2015 Share Posted 8 April , 2015 I can see why you like the shrapnel ball and the flattened bullets. Each one a little piece of the Western Front, with its little own story to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khaki Posted 11 April , 2015 Author Share Posted 11 April , 2015 Very nice pieces there, looks great, thank you for sharing with us. Is that a French made button stick ? if so very similar to the British model. khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dugout Posted 12 April , 2015 Share Posted 12 April , 2015 I found the buttonstck on a local sale in the south of France. Therefor I always presumed it to be French but I could be wrong ofcourse. Cheers, Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khaki Posted 12 April , 2015 Author Share Posted 12 April , 2015 Again for your viewing pleasure a M1917 Colt (US) Army .45acp substitute standard along with the Smith & Wesson M1917 for the shortfall in the manufacture of M1911 automatics in 45acp. The clever development of the half moon clip as shown in the 2nd photo allowed for the use of the rimless .45acp in both revolvers. khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
