Dad being a railway man imbibed the Railway spirit in me. I have been fascinated by railways since childhood. Tags: #antiquewatches, #IndianRailways, #Indianrailwaysmemorabilia, #IndianRailwaysnostalgia, #IndianRailwaywatches The above watch has the EIR (East Indian Railway) Marksman medal with the EIR Railway Volunteers Rifle Corps insignia and the marksman rifles engraved. This is also in working condition but not as good as the GIPR watch. Similarly, another watch from my collection is 1907 East Indian Railway Volunteers Rifles Corp watch. So am not sure if the watch was for the officials of GIPR or for the Royal Navy. It says made for Royal Navy, London but on the front it shows Great Indian Peninsular Railway, London. The mechanics are clearly visible on the reverse of the watch Though I don’t recall where I picked up these watches, I am sure it would be have been during my stay in Bombay in the early 2000’s.įrom what I could gather this watch is almost 100 years old and is still in working condition. Some jewels I found during my travels across different parts of India.
