The "Bushy Tailed Fox" story

Hi Norman. Note the reversal of the fox which is often seen.

Below, my hangar showing the hilt and the shell markings.
Apparently, the crown over the nine was the proof master's symbol. I have been told his identity was kept secret, hence the use of a number; although I was also told that long ago the numbers were revealed and documented... any takers for this one?
The rack stamp is unknown to me but I am sure someone will know. Best guess: 2nd Battalion - but which one?
