Victorian Pewter Half Pint Tankard

Very heavy solid pewter Tankard marked with the VR crest and marked HALF PINT. There are Initials inscribed to the front and also a name underneath base. The Tankard has a false bottom...originally made as a PINT tankard but converted to a Half Pint at some later stage I'd say. Probable dating mid Victorian era. Height4 1/2".
