Quick lunchtime hunt = nearly an ounce of sterling!

[NOLA_Ken]

I had a bit of time today to hunt the job site a bit, and turned up some clad, a 1950 wheatie, and.... A fairly old looking sterling ID bracelet. I'm guessing old by the style of engraving. It has the initials J. B. R. and on the back, what I'm thinking might be a post WW1 era service number..... O - 1001223.... (It's my understanding that an early service number with a O prefix is for an officer) If anyone can confirm that it is or isn't what I'm thinking, I'd really appreciate it....



Camera battery died before I could get a pic of the back.... I'll try later when it's charged.

Great find, found this one last year from WW 1. As you can see he was a officer and there is a O in the serial number so I would say you are correct in your assumption.
