The Superb D.F.C. and Bar awarded to Flight Lieutenant John Vere ‘Hoppy’ Hopgood, 617 Squadron, late 106 and 50 Squadron, R.A.F.V.R., one of the central figures of the legendary ‘Dambusters’, and second-in-command of the famous attack on the Möhne Dam in ‘Operation Chastise’ on the night of the 16th-17th of May, 1943. Flying in the first wave, and attacking immediately after Guy Gibson’s ‘G-George’, he pressed home the attack in his already damaged aircraft ‘M-Mother’ in the face of the recently alerted enemy guns, and despite his own serious head wound, he released his bomb successfully toward the dam wall, but just fractionally late, and it agonisingly bounced over the dam face. Knowing that his damaged and blazing Lancaster could not struggle much further, and arguably aware of his own approaching fate, he committed himself to one final and desperate climb, allowing his remaining crew time to attempt to bail out of the stricken aircraft, prior to a final descent in which he was killed – at the age of just 21. The case has been made in the years since that he might have been recommended for a posthumous Victoria Cross in the light of his heroic and selfless actions in saving the lives of his crew, comprising: Distinguished Flying Cross, GRI, unnamed as issued, engraved reverse dated ‘1942’, with second award bar, engraved reverse dated ‘1943’, in original Royal Mint case of issue, toned, good extremely fine OFFERED BY DIRECT DESCENT ON BEHALF OF WATER AID NOTE: D.F.C.: London Gazette, 27 October 1942: ‘Flt. Lt. Hopgood has participated in a number of successful attacks on enemy and enemy occupied country. On one occasion he made a low level attack on Rostock and also bombed Warnemünde from only 2,000 feet in face of intense opposition’. D.F.C. (Bar): London Gazette, 12 January 1943: ‘This officer has completed many successful operations since being awarded the D.F.C, One night in August, 1942, he was detailed to bomb objectives at the port of Gdynia. This attack, which was pressed home with the greatest determination, achieved excellent results. On another occasion in October, 1942, during the daylight attack on Le Creusot, Flt. Lt. Hopgood participated in a particularly daring attack on the electrical transformer station, which was bombed effectively from a height of only 500 feet.’ Note: As far as can be ascertained, Hopgood’s WW2 campaign stars and medals were never issued or claimed. FOR A FULL ACCOUNT OF HOPGOOD'S LIFE AND EXTRAORDINARY CAREER, SEE THE PRINTED CATALOGUE OR ONLINE PDF AT WWW.MORTONANDEDEN.COM.

*Italy, Pseudo-Fra Antonio da Brescia, Apollo and Python, bronze plaquette (early 16th century), naked Apollo holding bow and standing facing, his left arm resting on a tree stump from which hangs his quiver; at his feet the dead serpent/dragon Python; in the background, a landscape with trees and a ruined tower, 66.4mm (Molinier 119; Bange 642; Kress 187 and fig. 236; Warren, Ashmolean Museum Plaquetttes, 333), small piercing at top, an extremely fine contemporary cast with brown patina (the reverse with collectors’ numbers and an old ticket now unattached) Ex Dr G. Brockmann collection, Peus 411, 31 October 2013, lot 1218. The association of this plaquette with Fra Antonio da Brescia depends on the reverse of a signed medal of a certain Niccolò Vonico of Treviso with a similar reverse design to the present plaquette (as Hill 476). But commentators suggest that the plaquette is the more successful version of the two designs and that the signed medal actually copies the plaquette – hence the name given to the plaquette maker of this and some other associated pieces as Pseudo-Fra Antonio da Brescia. Douglas Lewis (in “Collectors of Renaissance Reliefs: Erasmus of Rotterdam (1466-1536) and Baron Boissel de Monville (1763-1832)”, St.HistArt 70, 2008, p. 130) has renamed him the “Vicentine Master of 1507” due to his close relationship with two artists of Vicenza, the painter Bartolomeo Montagna and the printmaker Benedetto Montagna. He calls the subject matter of the present plaquette Virtue Triumphant over Vice (publication pending).
