The following three items came from the family of Lord Fitzroy Somerset. A FINE AND INTERESTING BRASS MOUNTED GENTLEMAN'S DRESSING ATTIRE CASE, mid-19th century, with 'Lord Fitzroy Somerset' in gold-block letters on the lid and manufactured by Sarnsby & Co., Birmingham, with bright purple velvet-lined interior containing two trays each with a variety of compartments to house a fob or pocket watch, rings, collar studs, cufflinks, comb and bushes, razor etc.; together with an exotic bamboo walking cane with a silver band with Birmingham hallmarks for ‘1896’, engraved 'Lord Fitzroy Somerset' and topped with a carved ivory faceted pommel as well as a woven black silk wrist strap (this item must have belonged to the R.H. George Fitzroy Henry Somerset, 3rd Baron Raglan - 1857-1921); and a 19th century Campaign Trunk made of pine, leather-covered and with brass studded ornamentation over the domed lid and with two brass folding carrying-handles at each end, 24in. long x 13in.wide x 12in. tall, paper-lined interior and with an iron lock (some wear throughout). Footnote: It is believed that the above items were sold at public auction in the early 1930s. Fitzroy James Henry Somerset (1788-1855), 1st Baron Raglan, is perhaps best remembered as being the rather ineffective but ultimately successful commander of the British forces in the Crimea. His military career began during the Napoleonic Wars. In 1807 he first served on the staff of Sir Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, and accompanied him to Portugal and spent the Peninsular War as his aide-de-camp and military secretary. He distinguished himself in a number of actions and rose to the rank of brevet-major, and in the short peace of 1814-15 he married Wellington’s niece. He was wounded at Waterloo and had his right arm amputated. During the following years of peace he led a distinguished civil and diplomatic career, the title of the Baron of Raglan being created for him by Queen Victoria in 1852. In 1854 he was promoted to a full general and given the fateful command in the Crimea. He and his staff were blamed for the terrible conditions the troops suffered during the incredibly harsh winter campaign that year. Despite several tactical errors on his part the eventual allied victories at Balaklava and Inkerman resulted in him being made a Field Marshal. The winter and strains of command had taken a heavy toll on him and he died of dysentery in the summer of 1855. His second son, Richard Henry Fitzroy Somerset (1817-1884) became the 2nd Baron Raglan on his death (his first son Arthur William Fitzroy Somerset dying in 1845 of wounds received at the battle of Ferozeshah). He in turn was succeeded by George Fitzroy Henry Somerset, 3rd Baron Raglan (1857-1921).

Malcolm Appleby has kindly confirmed that he engraved the guns on commission in 1977 at a cost of #1,400 (cost to day would be approximately #30,000 per gun). Regarding the guns, he states: "I was not given any written brief for the pair and no indication for whom they were for. There was no price mentioned. I was asked to use a bit of gold but being wary of flashiness, I restricted gold to the metal borders that touched the wood and gold name. I was keen to use fauna combined with floral motifs with birds that today are not usually considered birds of the chase as well as today's game. The guns for me were to be a challenge of fine detail - bold polished carving of fences and rugged deep carved detail and yet retaining the integrity of the best British pair of guns. There is no real theme, only that we are all part of nature and we should all have respect for it. There is only one pair like these and no other single sidelock gun is similar”. Footnote: Malcolm Appleby is one of the United Kingdom's foremost gun engravers, his most famous commission being the Raven gun, housed at the Royal Armouries. Gun engraving forms just a part of his repertoire and he has engraved approximately sixty guns since 1968. Other noted commissions he has undertaken are those of the engraving of the orb on the Prince of Wales Coronet, the 500th Anniversary silver cup for the London Assay Office (hallmarked in Edinburgh), the seal for the Victoria and Albert museum, the silver centrepiece for the New Scottish Parliament and the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes Trophy for De Beers.
