From Thomas. Gordon & Sons, Glasgow and presented to the Sultan of Johor(e) by Queen Victoria during his visit to Balmoral circa 1880.
Ibrahim H.H. Tunku Abubeker Bin. GCMG. KCSI. Sultan of ‘JOHORE’ (1833 – 1895) was the grandson of the Malayan Prince who ceded Singapore to Sir Stamford Raffles. Was western educated and a great friend of Queen Victoria who created him Emperor of Johor. He died on July 1895 at Bailey’s Hotel, London and was taken back to Johor and laid to rest at the royal mausoleum named Makam Mahmoodiah. An 1891 Vanity Fair cartoon shows the Sultan with a piece of predominantly yellow tartan which places a question mark over the accuracy of this entry which is still being sporadically researched.
