Rh., and Innsbruck, along with two silver-tone relief badges depicting stag heads. The lot features a three-legged folding spectator seat with a grey-painted tubular metal frame and a tan-coloured padded vinyl seat, marked MADE IN ENGLAND on the underside. Also present is a single-leg shooting stick, in the style of a Venator hunting stool, featuring a polished aluminium frame, a stitched brown leather sling seat, and a brown-painted metal shaft fitted with a ground plate and spike.
