William I (1066-87), silver profile Penny, type I (c.1066-68?), Bath Mint, moneyer Brungar, crowned bust left with sceptre, extending to bottom of coin, legend commences at lower left with outer beaded circle surrounding both sides, +PILLELM REX, rev. annulet at centre of cross fleury, +BRVGAR ON BAÐ, 1.31g (BMC type I; N.839; S.1250). Toned, a very pleasing coins, practically extremely fine and of the highest rarity, we can only trace one other inferior example sold in the last ten years which appears to be the only other coin currently in existence.The legends translate as "William King" on obverse and "Brungar of Bath" on the reverse. Brungar first appears as a moneyer at Bath with this first profile issue of William I and is one of four moneyers at this mint in this reign. Dr Martin Allen records only two examples in existence of which this is the best in his article "Mints and Moneyers of England and Wales 1066-1158 Addenda and Corrigenda" in the British Numismatic Journal 2016, volume 86, pages 164-190 where this coin and one other are recorded for the first time and illustrated, this coin as figure 1b. North records up to four moneyers working at Bath in this reign in types I, 3, 5 and 8.The first Norman King of England, William the Conqueror born around 1028 was the son of Robert I of Normandy and Herleya. A descendant of Rollo, William became Duke of Normandy in 1035, he subsequently married Matilda of Flanders in the 1050s ensuring a powerful ally in that neighbouring region. After a protracted struggle and quashing rebellions, his hold over Normandy was eventually secure by 1060 and with appointment of supporting abbots and bishops in the Norman church, and he subsequently secured the region of Maine in 1062. William's first cousin once removed was the childless Edward the Confessor of England and from this family connection and that Edward had previously told him he would succeed, he assumed a claim to the throne of England over Harold Godwinson, who Edward had named as his successor on his deathbed in January 1066. William also claimed that Harold previously had promised the throne to him in the event of succession, Harold having sworn over holy relics in William's presence as depicted in the Bayeux tapestry. William therefore built up a powerful invasion force to cross the channel and fight for the right to rule England as of September 1066. He landed at Pevensey Bay and after setting up camp with a basic fort at Hastings he marched north to meet Harold at Senlac Hill at Battle, East Sussex on the 14th October. A battle raged for most of the day, with at one point a rumour spread that William was slain resulting in him having to remove his helmet and reveal he was alive and fighting, boosting the morale of the Normans for the final onslaught in which Harold perished, either from an arrow in the eye or cut down by a horseman. William then went on a military tour to put down local uprisings leading to his crowning in Westminster Abbey on Christmas Day. He made arrangements in London for governance for whenever he would be in Normandy, and by 1075 his hold on England was almost complete with many forts and castles constructed. His later years involved quelling other uprisings in Europe and difficulty with his eldest son Robert Curthose, but his most famous achievement in England was the preparation of the Domesday Book in 1086; a survey of the land and the land-owners and nobles within it, listing pre-conquest and current holders at that time. William died in September 1087 leading a campaign in northern France and was buried at Caen. Normandy was given to eldest son Robert, with England given to his next surviving son William Rufus.The old Roman City of Bath some 12 miles from Bristol was rebuilt by Alfred the Great after expulsion of the Danes and was part of the Burghal Hidage. King Eadgar was coronated there in 973 and in 1013 the Danish Swein went to Bath to receive submission from the western thegns. Bath was destroyed in 1088 in a rising orchestrated by Robert de Mowbray. It later became an episcopal seat in place of Wells in 1090 and William II granted the mint to the Bishop. Minting activity occurs in the English series from the time of Edward the Elder until King Stephen.Provenance Ex Furstenburg collection, Otto Helbing Nachf auction, Munich, 14th December 1933, lot 154.Ex Commander Robert Gerhardt, Spink 215, 4 December 2012, lot 68.Ex Spink Coin Auction, 28th January 2019, lot 1609.

William II (1087-1100), silver Penny, two stars / voided cross type (1092-95?), Southwark Mint, moneyer Wulfgar, facing crowned bust to edge of coin, large star either side, legend commencing lower left with inner linear and outer beaded circles surrounding both sides, +PILLELM RI, rev. annulet at centre of voided cross pattée, over a cross annulettée in saltire, +PIILGIIR ON SIIÐ, 1.40g (BMC type III 222; N.853; S.1260). Toned, a little weak in parts though with a decent portrait of the King, a bold very fine for issue, rare.The legends translate as "William King " on obverse and on the reverse "Wulfgar of Southwark." North records up to 11 moneyers working at Southwark for William I and I and producing all types for William II. William Rufus was the third son of William I, with the name Rufus perhaps a reference to him being a red-haired child or less likely due to ruddy appearance. He never married or had any children, and was a wise ruler and a victorious leader, but at the same time some said uncultivated in taste, without dignity or social graces and without showing religious piety or morales, and some said even addicted to vices. He did however maintain justice and good order for England, the throne of which he received on the death of his Father, with his eldest brother Robert Curthose inheriting Normandy with whom William had a peaceful relationship. William Rufus extended rule into Anglo-Norman Wales and had Scotland under his lordship whilst he recovered Maine while pressuring Vexin in France. William famously suffered his death whilst hunting in the New Forest on 2nd August 1100, a stray arrow taking his life, perhaps accidental with unproven suspicions of murder, his nobleman having deserted him in the heat of the moment. Ironically his elder brother Richard, the second son of William the Conqueror had also died in a New Forest hunting accident circa 1075, which paved the way for William Rufus to accede the English throne. As he died childless the throne then passed to his younger brother Henry known as Henry Beauclerc. Southwark Mint on the south bank of the Thames separate from the City of London is mentioned in the Burghal Hidage and is part of old Surrey. The town was burnt by William the Conqueror in 1066 with minting activity from the reign of Aethelred II until Stephen with a burst of later minting activity occurring in the Tudor period.ProvenanceEx Heritage, New York Signature Sale, 3rd January 2010, lot 21556.

He has a tall, conical crown with a Shiva-Lingam on the front. He wearspadukasandals on his feet. These are particularly high – the detail of thepadukasis an especially pleasing aspect of this fine bronze. Virabhadra, an incarnation of Shiva, was created after Shiva’s wife, Sati, was not invited to a great sacrifice given by her father Daksha. Sati, being greatly humiliated, went to the banquet and threw herself on the sacrificial fire. When Shiva heard of his wife’s death, he tore a hair from his head and threw it to the ground. Virabhadra, a great hero-warrior, arose from this hair. He cut off Daksha’s head in his rage and hurled it into the sacrificial fire. After the other gods calmed Shiva down, Daksha’s head was replaced by that of a goat or in this case, a ram. Daksha later became a devotee of Shiva.

Classic Webley Target Launcher by Webley & Scott Ltd, & Old Fired Paper Shotgun Cartridge Cases.An Interesting classic Webley Target Launcher by Webley & Scott Ltd complete and in working order.  The launcher is no longer made but was originally designed to fire soft drink cans using a .22 long blank cartridge for target practice without the cost of clay pigeons and leaving fragments on the ground.  Modern drink cans no longer fit the launcher socket but baked-bean size cans will substitute.  An interesting item for the collector of shooting accessories and/or for practice.  Some are now used as dog training dummy launchers.  The launcher is not classified as a firearm as it has no barrel and is an item of sporting equipment and no certificate is required to possess it or to buy blank cartridges.  However, any buyer of this item must be over 18 and the buyer must collect. Plus, a 12b / 410” shotgun chamber adaptor circa 1940s / 1950s, with no makers or other marks. These chamber adaptors were popular, especially for pest control and dog training at a time when the .410 cartridge was significantly cheaper than larger bore shotgun cartridges. The adapter does not have to be entered separately on a shotgun license as it is not capable in itself of discharging a projectile, but any buyer will be required to produce a current shotgun of RFD license on collection. Box of interesting collectable old fired paper shotgun cartridge cases comprising Eley “Ejector” brass cases, “Gastight” with long brass heads, “Nitrone” and Curtis & Harvey’s “Ruby” Powder and Kynoch “Primax” and “Bonax” and various post-ICI Eley Kynoch. This Lot also includes of historic interest an inert example of a WW2 LDV (Home Guard) issue 12b shotgun cartridge with solid lead ball in buff coloured case with War Dept broad arrow on case and top wad pierced to partially reveal lead ball and a similar LDV issue 12b shotgun cartridge containing “SG” shot in plain red case also printed with broad arrow and with top wad marked “SG” In 1940 the War Dept acquired shotgun cartridges with large sized or ball shot which had been used in peacetime for wildfowl and close range deer control for emergency issue to the Home Guard in face of invasion for use in sporting shotguns. Also included two Eley “Trapshooting” cartridges 12b in buff paper cases also marked with War Dept broad arrow. These are examples of cartridges issued to the RAF for fighter pilots and air gunners to use for clay pigeon shooting to acquire the concept of maintained lead when firing at moving targets. Just prior to WW2 the RAF placed an order with BSA for delivery of shotguns for this purpose. The full order was never delivered as BSA’s shotgun manufacture was destroyed by bombing in 1940 but occasionally BSA shotguns with War Dept broad arrow marks, part of this order, are to be found. LIVE CARTRIDGES ARE INCLUDED AND CURRENT SHOTGUN OR RFD LICENCE MUST BE PRODUCED BY BUYER ON COLLECTION
