Hello All

I have been looking at all user groups trying to find someone who can help me with the following item. I have pictures should anyone ask to see.

I have a Fulton's Military Handkerchief - Military Instructions, Martini-Henry Rifle, Patent No. is 10774.

Apparently these were given to soldiers to carry in their pockets. Has a diagram of the rifle in the middle and on the outside, lots of combat instructions.

Can anyone tell me what its value is - or who might be able to tell me its value. I have emailed some British Military Antique dealers without response.

I really appreciate anything you can tell me - and thank you in advance.

The fultons military handkerchief are available for the Martini and the Lee metford rifle, I have one, also does a friend of mine. I would guess that they date from about 1895-1900.
A good one would fetch around �30-50 at the military fair

They appear from time to time on eBay. You may be able to get some idea of its value from there.

Cheers

Nancy,

The Fulton's handkerchiefs were not an issued item. Fulton's retailed them and they were popular with Rifle Volunteers. There are quite a few reprinted versions in circulation
