From Google: The WILTSHIRE INSIGNIA: In the early nineteenth century, the 62d (Wiltshire) Regiment of Foot was authorised, along with eleven other regiments, to adopt the design of the Maltese Cross for its Shako plate with its eight points symbolizing the eight beatitudes of St Matthew’s Gospel. Although its use was later discontinued by most other regiments, the Wiltshire Regiment continued to use it, probably because of the Regiment’s long association with Malta and Sicily between 1800 and 1813. In 1828, however, when regimental badges became official, the 62nd decided not to introduce a new design but maintain the use of the original.<P><P>
In 1881 a new badge was introduced, in the shape of a Cross Pattée, as a result of the Cardwell reforms and the amalgamation of the 62nd with the 99th (Duke of Edinburgh’s) Regiment, previously the 99th (Lanarkshire) Regiment of Foot. This badge, with its cypher and coronet of the Duke of Edinburgh (a son of Queen Victoria), was to remain the Regiment’s badge until 1959, with exception that in 1953, the cypher of the present Duke of Edinburgh replaced the original.

ANTIQUE OPENWORK SILVER VASE W RAISED BIRDS
Exceptional openwork sterling silver vase w raised handhammered, hand engraved birds, bamboo and leaves and extended leaves. Strong Japanese or Japanese
influence such as English Arts and Crafts. Late 19th or veryearly 20th century. This is the style that influenced Tiffany 's best silverware. <P> Stands 8
7/8" high, excluding wooden base. <br> Conical shape. Round domed foot with raised pattern and hand-hammered background. Leads to very fine stem in the form
of a bamboo shoot. From this a number of leaves radiate, entirely 3 dimentional. The solid bamboo shaped segments become magnificent openwork, engraved and
handhammered for additional effect in the form of bamboo leaves and stems with a number of raised birds perching or swooping down on them. There is a small
circular medallion in the front that has not been engraved with a monogram/name. <br> The top flares to a ruffled, frilly flower form. <P> There is an insert
which appears to be somewhat luminescent. A wooden Chinese base at the bottom, was, I believe placed there later. It in no way interferes with the integrity
of the vase and is easilly removed.<P><P> The hallmarks on the side of the silver base are worn, making it difficult to be sure of the origins of the piece.
There is clearly an MM or WW mark and another, complex mark, partially rubbed as well as an almost entirely rubbed mark. It is outstanding workmanship of the
highest quality. The whole is in good condition except for some minor soldering on the bottom/lower segment where the radiating leaves
join the stem.

FLORAL ROGERS & SON SILVER PLATE GRAVY LADLE
Ornate floral silver gravy ladle. I am assuming it is plate since there is not a sterling mark. It was made by WM ROGERS & SON. It has a good age. The arching handle is covered in pretty repousse flowers and scrolls. The ladle is wide and generous. The piece is in good condition besides superficial scratching. The back is marked: WM ROGERS & SON and there are two more hallmarks with IS, probably for the International Silver company who merged with Rogers & son.
