With gilt interiors, engraved with a Marquess' coronet, crest and motto 'HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE'.
The coronet, crest, and motto are those of the Marquess of Anglesey, one of the heroes of the Battle of Waterloo. On having his leg shot off by cannon fire, he is reputed to have said to Wellington “by God Sir, I have lost my leg!” To which Wellington responded “By God Sir, so you have”. Full details along with many other stoical and apocryphal quips can be found on a Wikipedia page entitled “Lord Uxbridge’s Leg.”
