Antique Very Rare Design Solid Silver Albert Pocket Watch Chain

This has a Graduated chain, with the chain links 'gradually' changing in size

Graduation is common, but always with bigger links in the middle

This unique chain has smaller links roughly in the middle

With the links getting bigger towards either end???

And the T-Bar and Clasp have been permanently attached by a skilled Silversmith

Not the usual 'open' link rings used to attach these parts

Hallmarked on the T-Bar by Henry Pope 'H.P' of Birmingham in 1931 'G'

Weighs  37.2 grams  1.33 ounces

35.5cm  14"  Long

The biggest chain links are  0.95cm wide

Complete with the T-Bar and Dog Clip Clasp - fully working

The Clasp is Hallmarked 'S.S' for Genuine Solid Sterling Silver

It must have cost a lot of money to pay a Silversmith to make this strange chain

I don't know if we will ever know exactly why such a strange design was requested and crafted

Originally all the links were Stamped with the Lion Passant of British Solid Silver

But these have now all but worn smooth over time and use

In good Antique condition
