Arthur Elphinstone, 6th Lord Balmerino (1688-1746), resigned his commission following the accession of the Hanoverian George I in 1714. Having taken part in the Jacobite rising of the Old Pretender in 1715 and making good his escape after it was put down, he joined the French army, not returning to Scotland until 1744 to join forces with Prince Charles Edward Stuart, the Young Pretender. Balmerino was captured at the Battle of Culloden and with two other Scottish noblemen taken for trial by his peers in Westminster. On the day of his execution, immediately before he was beheaded, when he presented this most quintessentially Scottish of personal possessions to the Captain of the Guard, he delivered a resounding, unrepentant cri de coeur, uttering "If I had a thousand lives, I would lay them all down in the same cause".++Mull in good complete and original condition with polish wear consistent with age to engraving on the slightly domed lid, horn not cracked or warped.
