The Faberge handle was presented by Russian Czar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra to Ethan A.

The Faberge handle descended in the Hitchcock family to their daughter Anne E. Hitchcock (pictured in photograph with her sister Margaret, dressed in their fine Parisian gowns, being presented to the Russian Czarina in 1897). Anne later married William Sowden Sims (1858-1936) who commanded all United States naval forces during World War I and whom also won the Pulitzer Prize for History in 1921.
