Queen Anne grenadier pouch

 

A Queen Anne period Grenadier's cartridge pouch . Made of russet and white buff leather with a velvet covered flap featuring a huge brass plate of a peg legged grenadier with lit grenade. He has the cypher "AR" on his cap with the motto "Love and Honor" underneath. My guess is this represents a minor hero of the time now unknown to us . I have no idea what regiment or company this may have belonged to. It is marked with the soldier's name and "no32" on the back.
