Hi

it was common that the officers gave a present to their commander if he left command. Here was obviously the commanding Colonel of this Regiment leaving.

Hello, the name Elimeyer on the plate is for Moritz Elimeyer, jeweller to the Saxonian Court and very like the retailer of this piece. Regards, Bahner

The E is not well struck, so you think it is an F.

But the Moritz Elimeyer lived between 1810-1871. Is it possible that someone used old plate after 60 years?

but the jeweller's shop Elimeyer existed up to 1930.

Elimeyer was only the seller. Maker was Wilkens, Bremen (mark Spindelpresse)
