He established the first permanent army paid with regular wages, and by the end of Charles' reign, they had reconquered almost all the territories ceded to the English in 1360. Furthermore, the French fleet, managed to attack the English coast for the first time since the beginning of the Hundred Years´ War. Charles V died in 1380.

A B-3, brown leather/shearling lined aviation jacket as seen worn by Steve McQueen as "Capt. Buzz Rickson" in the war/drama The War Lover (Columbia Pictures Corporation, 1962). This style jacket features two leathers and numerous hand-sewn patches to prevent and conceal wear. The jacket's design features a wide fold-over collar with two buckles and straps to stand the collar up and cover the neck. There are two side adjustable buckles and zip closure. The jacket is in various shades of brown due to the types of leather, dyeing process, as well protective coating. There is a partial maker label, the remaining part of the label reads, "PROPERTY, AIR FORCE US ARMY," marked a size regular. This jacket shows moderate overall wear (primarily due to use by Captain Crewdson while riding on his motorcycle) inlcuding several holes and tears to the leather, balding to the lining, cracking to the leather coating, as well as numerous repairs and alterations. New leather patches are applied to the shoulders and inner sleeves, as well as hand-sewn repairs to tears on the sleeves and body of the jacket. The zipper was replaced and the interior lip at the zipper was removed. The shearling trim at the hem of the jacket has been removed as well, it appears to have been cut off. The wear is from age, use, and storage. In the film, set in 1943 Britain, McQueen plays reckless "Captain Buzz Rickson" in command of a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bomber.The jacket was originally acquired from the film's Director of Aviation, Captain John Crewdson, who sported this original flying jacket during his service and at the beginning of production, and wore it for many years after when riding his motorbike. When McQueen complained of the costume department's version of a flight jacket being too large, it was suggested that Crewdson loan the jacket to the starring actor, which shows up in the final cut of the film.Includes a black and white lobby card and a DVD of the film. PROVENANCE Lot 44 "Entertainment Memorabilia," Bonhams, London, Knightsbridge, June 25, 2014

The 1911 pistol, also known as the Colt Government or simply the 1911, is a semi-automatic handgun that was designed by John Browning and initially produced by Colt's Manufacturing Company. It has a rich history and remains a popular choice among firearm enthusiasts, law enforcement agencies, and military organizations around the world.The 1911 pistol was first adopted by the United States Army in, as the name suggests, 1911. It served as the standard-issue sidearm for the U.S. military for many years, including during both World Wars. The pistol's design was highly regarded for its reliability, accuracy, and stopping power.The 1911 pistol is chambered for the .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) cartridge, which is known for its larger bullet diameter and stopping power. It features a single-stack magazine with a capacity of typically 7 or 8 rounds, though extended magazines with higher capacities are available.The pistol operates using a short recoil system, in which the slide and barrel recoil together for a short distance before separating. This design helps to mitigate recoil and allows for more accurate follow-up shots. The slide also locks back after the last round is fired, indicating that the magazine is empty.The 1911 pistol has a single-action trigger, meaning that the trigger performs only one function: releasing the hammer to fire the weapon. The trigger pull is typically crisp and light, contributing to its reputation for accuracy.Over the years, the 1911 design has been produced by various manufacturers and has undergone some modifications and improvements. These include changes in grip materials, sights, finishes, and the addition of accessory rails for attachments like lights or lasers. However, the basic design principles and overall look of the 1911 have remained relatively consistent.The popularity of the 1911 extends beyond military and law enforcement use. Many civilian shooters appreciate its ergonomics, trigger characteristics, and classic design. It has also become a popular platform for customization and aftermarket modifications, allowing individuals to tailor the pistol to their preferences.In summary, the 1911 pistol is a classic and iconic firearm that has stood the test of time. Its design, reliability, and stopping power have made it a favorite among professionals and enthusiasts alike.Measures 9 (width) x 6 (height) x 3 (depth).

* JAMES WATT RGI (SCOTTISH 1931 - 2022), FROM A HIGH WINDOW, CRINAN oil on canvas, signed, titled versoframedimage size 26cm x 36cm, overall size 39cm x 49cm Note: James Watt was born in Port Glasgow in 1931 to Alexander Watt and his wife Isabella (nee Hooper). His entire family, including his grandfather, and everybody he knew, were in shipbuilding. He was always passionate about boats. He believed he was very lucky. "I was in the right place at the right time. I caught the tail-end of the Clydeside shipbuilding boom in the 1950s. Shipyards had full order-books and the river teemed with craft of every sort. So I always had a subject”. His paintings are in a formidable array of collections – including those of HM The Queen and Prince Philip, The Princess Royal, The Arts Council, The Hunterian, Glasgow Museums, Paisley Museum & Art Gallery, IBM, Britoil, the Danish Embassy, Yarrow Shipbuilders, McKean Museum and Art Gallery, Clyde Shipping Co, the Royal Bank of Scotland and also the town council in the Faroes. Watt went to Glasgow School of Art for four years where he was taught by Ted Odling, Douglas Percy Bliss, and David Donaldson. In 1958 he was one of 13 founders of the Glasgow Group, an artists' co-operative which continues to this day. Irritated by the conformist, unadventurous policies of local exhibiting societies like the Royal Scottish Academy and the RGI, and at the dearth of commercial outlets in the city, they got together with other GSA students and graduates to exhibit at Glasgow’s then-beautiful McLellan Galleries. The Glasgow Group was the Transmission Gallery of its day. After two years National Service in the army, from 1955 to 1957 he became an art teacher, and a much-beloved one at that. He was noted for his kindness and good counsel, and one former student says of him: "I had pretty much zero talent but he sparked a lifelong love and interest in art." Another remembered “His was the fastest-moving Volvo down the school drive. He was some man." Later Watt became a member of the RGI and was elected a member of Society of Scottish Artists in 1965. In 1997 he received The Royal Bank of Scotland Award at the Glasgow Institute. He dedicated much of his life to recording the River Clyde and its industries, and his vast body of work forms a vital archive of the river. Greenock's McLean Museum and Art Gallery exhibition, The Lost Clyde: The Paintings of James Watt, was mounted to celebrate his 90th birthday. James was also the father of Alison Watt OBE FRSE RSA, one of Britain's best-known painters.
