Dutch Military Gift Silver Woodcock Sugar Sifter Figure
About the Item
IN THE FORM OF A WOODCOCK OR SNIPE BIRD
From our Silver collection, we are thrilled to offer this novelty Dutch Military Silver Woodcock / Sipe Figure modelled as a Sugar Sifter (caster). The Silver in the form of a Woodcock bird with long pointed bill, short wings and short legs. The Woodcock cast in solid silver with multiple hallmark located around the collar, removable sifter, and leg. Hallmarks include a passant lion facing right used to indicate second standard of purity with a minimum .833 , a straight sword used between 1906-1953 and date letter J for 1919. Each hallmark located with one on each piece used particularly on larger pieces of Silver. The Woodcock is mounted upon an ebonised wooden plinth with two silver plaques reading “Presented to Major J.A.G Le Coq on the Occasion of his Marriage 25th Sept 1954, From the Officers of the 60th Rifles.” Figures like this Woodcock originally were designed to be a figure only however due to various import taxes and rules the manufacture would make the figure into a practical and useable object to avoid the taxes. It’s extremely unlikely that the figure would have actually been used for its design and would have been decorative only.
THE 60TH RIFLES (THE KING’S ROYAL RIFLE CORPS)
were an infantry regiment formed in 1756. They were one of the first regiments in the British Army to be equipped with rifles. Over the years the regiment gained 5 battalions and fought in most prominent wars around the world including American War of Independence (1775-83), Peninsular War (1808-14), American Civil War (1861-65), Boer War (1899-1900) and both the First and Second Word War. In 1966 the regiment merged with the two other regiments of the Green Jackets Brigade to form The Royal Green Jackets.
