Default Anglo-Indian Momento of Sam Brownes 22nd Cavalry in fine Koftgari

I thought you chaps might enjoy seeing this anglo-Indian steel cigarette box decorated to the 'legendary' Frontier force during it's time as the "22nd Sam Brownes Cavalry" (1904-1921).
It's of interest to us for several reasons of course. Not just the connection with the frontier force, but also the quality of the koftgari is very good and is directly comparable with that which was used to decorate the weapons that we regularly discuss. It's also interesting to see an example of early 20thC koftgari art that's datable to such a short period.
I love these 'fusion' items.

All comments welcome of course.
