The example in the Royal Collection dates to about 1800. It is made of red leather with a large, front flap. The flap is covered with leopard skin and further embellished with an applied silver band around the edges, with spangles and with the monogram of GR (George Rex [III], r: 1780-1820) under three feathers (the Prince of Wales’ feathers) set in a crown. The monogram, crown and feathers are worked in mainly silver metal thread.
