Brooch showing two crossed guns, possibly Lewis Guns || This sweetheart brooch was found in my mother-in-law's jewelry box recently - her name was Mona Wetherall (nee Wood). She lived in Sheffield and later moved to Leeds and her husband was from a farming family near Mickelthwaite, Bingley, West Yorkshire.
