Description

Large carved Paul Kruger pipe with 6 battle names Aberdffn, De aar, Waterkloof, Cradock, Kendrew, Graaff-Reinet (Please excuse spellings). Carved "From Harry to Father", flowers & Leafs also carved with profile portrait of Paul Kruger. Fully silver mounted Hallmarked for William Harrison, with the bowl being marked J K P. I believe the soldier who carved it could've been in various Town Guards at these battles, as most seem to be in defence of railway stations etc. These names on a pipe carved as battles are very rare and with good research and persistance I wonder if the soldiers name could be discovered.
