Description: | Scabbard for dirk, after 1856, which belonged to Vice-Admiral Edward William Elphinstone Wemyss (1866-1938). The black leather scabbard has a gilt top locket with a ring each side and a gilt chape. The throat of the scabbard is slotted on the reverse side to admit the dog-catch on reverse of the quillions. The locket and chape are decorated with a scroll motif. The locket is further decorated with three groups of four horizontal lines and the chape, shows additional faint scrollwork decoration. A piece of one of the slings with its spring-clip remains.
