Below is a list of the Holmes-specific items I incorporated into the diorama - they aren't in any particular order.  I'm sure I missed a few note-worthy items from the Canon.  Therefore, I reserve the right to add them in the future!  Suggestions on the back of a postcard, please! 

1.  Laboratory equipment (various throughout)
2.  Monograph on Tobacco Ash (on dining table)
3.  The Times newspaper (on dining chair and mentioned many times throughout the Canon)
4.  Scientific charts (various throughout)
5.  Maps (various throughout)
6.  Gramophone & records (I'm sure there was a reference in the Canon that alluded to Holmes being able to play music?)
7.  Pocket-watch (on gramophone table)
8.  Afghani Tribesmen framed print (hanging on right-hand-side wall - no doubt one of Watson's mementos)
9.  'VR' bullet-holes (right-hand-side wall)
10.  Framed print of General Charles Gordon (hanging on right-hand-side wall)
11.  Speckled Band (no longer posing any real threat - situated on top of the writing desk)
12.  Stethoscope (belonging to Dr Watson)
13.  Blow-pipe & thorn darts (previously the property of Tonga - retrieved from the boat he fell from?)

21.  Silver Blaze statue (on writing desk)
22.  Battle of Maiwand framed print (hanging above writing desk - another of Watson's collectibles)
