Enamel hilt - age and place

My thoughts of British patronage were not on the lines of a purchase to show your friends by the fireside. I was thinking of the many trade/arts and crafts/industrial conventions held to showcase products of the empire. Not necessarily the big events like the "great exhibition" More one of the many shows that must have been held as the British attempted to stimulate Indian labours for thier advantage.
