A VICTORIAN SILVER BOER WAR COMMEMORATIVE NOVELTY CARD HOLDER, SAUNDERS & SHEPHERD LTD. OF LONDON, CHESTER, 1899
finely modelled as three Lee-Metford rifles leant up against each other, each rifle stamped 'LEE-METFORD', with P.O.D.R. No. for 1899
8cm high

At the outbreak of the Boer War, British manufacturers responded quickly to the patriotic fervour that gripped the country, producing a large variety of commemorative wares, often in ceramic. For an 1899 Saunders & Shepherd teaspoon with the same model of a Lee-Metford used as the stem and the bowl inscribed 'Souvenir of the Anglo-Boer War 1899-1900', see Pieter Oosthuizen, Memorabilia of the Boer War, Ashanti Publishing, 1987, p.119. Saunders & Shepherd Ltd. are also credited with a souvenir silver vesta case enamelled with 'a Gentleman in Kharki' (copywrited to the Daily Mail), Birmingham, 1899 (see John Culme, The Directory of Gold and Silversmiths, Woodbridge, 1987, Vol.1, p.404). Although rapidly being replaced by the Lee-Enfield, the Lee-Metford was still in service with many units during the Boer War.
