Well. I suppose that this particular D.C. Halsted was on a panel of English top-dogs which seemingly voted their favorites at the fair and presented their findings to the Monarchy. Must have been an important and influential person.
I wonder why his name does not come up in research of cutlery makers, or anything else, for that matter?

Keep digging, Bill! I have faith in you!
