An Argyll wine glass, can I suggest you launch it on that well know website. Having seen a rather well used 17th lancers fork go for over £50 I would suggest your glass would go for that and possibly a bit more

On 9 July 1794, they were formally gazetted into the British Army as the 98th Argyllshire Highlanders, renumbered later, in October 1798, as the 91st.

91? Crikey, did regimental numbers go that high, how bloody junior? And Jocks drinking wine? Must've have kept them for their English officers.

The Queen’s Royal Regiment (West Surrey), the 2nd of Foot, was England’s oldest infantry Regiment formed in 1661. But I rather think the Jocks have the 1st Foot this is where I say God bless the Royal Scots (1st of Foot) and Pontius Pilates bodyguard. Originally Posted by Queensman
