A fascinating and historically significant piece of English militaria, this antique silverplate trophy cup is a striking artifact from the early 20th century. Dated 1925, it bears the inscription: “381st (Thorverton) Field Battery RA Royal Devon Yeomanry Best Subsection Challenge Cup”. This cup would have been awarded to the top-performing subsection within the battery — likely for proficiency in drill, marksmanship, or overall unit excellence. The Royal Devon Yeomanry traces its roots to the late 18th century, originally formed as a volunteer cavalry regiment. By 1920, the regiment had been restructured into artillery units within the Royal Artillery, with the 381st (Thorverton) Field Battery taking its name from the historic Devon village of Thorverton.
Beautifully crafted and well-proportioned, the trophy features heavy, thickly curved handles and a classic presentation form, measuring 6 inches high, 8.25 inches wide, and 5 inches deep. It has a pleasing weight and presence, making it an ideal decorative statement piece for a study, man cave, office, or country home. The silverplate surface is gleaming and brightly polished. Please review photos for further condition assessment.
A unique and compelling artifact of British military tradition, this piece would be a superb addition to any collection of Ivy League-style decor, English country house interiors, or militaria memorabilia.
