I've been a member of the forum for some time now, usually just have time to look. Well now I have time to post, so may as well jump right in.
I have always wanted to add a decent Regimental Drum to my collection, and this one was the right time, right price.
I'm figuring by the Battle Honours Listed, and the Date/Markings of this drum, it may be the 2nd Battn / 11th Regt of Foot (Devonshire) Bloody 11th, etc.
Dettingen, Salamanca, Nivelle, Orthes, Pyrenees, Toulouse, Penninsula, Afghanistan ...not noting the period spelling errors
Brass Body, Engraved: 2 Bn 11 I. Co y 1873
Maker: Henry Potter 30 Charing Cross London
The edges of the painted panel are flanked on both sides by Green stripes
Will post more pics as time allows. Will leave it open from here... for your thoughts, ideas, etc. Thank you
