Description

Unusual gun metal Butt Marker, probably converted from a cigarette box, with diamond set initials, and polished red stone pusher, opening to reveal a copper fitted interior and 10 markers, possibly Russian, late 19th or early 20th century.

Butt markers were used to help choose the first shooting position to start from in a game shoot, with shooters taking turns to choose a peg.
