A rare and evocative piece of British military medical history. This leather-cased military surgical suture kit was manufactured by the esteemed Arnold & Sons of London, primary surgical contractors to the War Office. The case is clearly stamped with the Military Broad Arrow, denoting it as official government issue for field service.

 

The case remains in excellent antique condition, with the leather retaining its deep black tone and structural integrity. Inside, the kit houses its original assortment of surgical needles and silk thread. This is a quintessential "field surgeon" artifact, likely seeing service during the Boer War or the Great War. A must-have for collectors of British militaria or early 20th-century surgical history.

  • Elite Maker: Stamped Arnold & Sons, London.

  • Period: Circa 1890–1915 (Boer War / WWI).

  • Completeness: Original leather "wallet" with needles and thread.
