Walter Steinberg has been a well-known figure at fairs, sales and events for many years. Born in 1922 in Philadelphia, Walter has had a life-long passion for collecting. A long-time resident in London, he has now retired to New York and decided that the time has come to pass on the antiquities and coins he has collected over his lifetime. Walter acquired coins and artefacts that interested him, so his collection, although containing many lovely examples, also contains many affordable specimens. Much of the material has been unavailable to the market for 30 to 50 years. Walter hopes that the items he collected will now find new homes with the next generation of collectors. [No Reserve]

*V-2 Rocket. A rusted relic of a V-2 Rocket combustion chamber, circa 1944, approximately 165 x 115 x 90cm The V-2 was the world's first long-range guided ballistic missile and the first man-made object to cross the boundary of space. From September 1944, over 3,000 V-2s were launched by the German Wehrmacht against allied targets during the war. It is estimated that 9,000 civilians and military personnel were killed as a result of the attacks, while 12,000 forced labourers and concentration camp prisoners were killed producing the weapons. Found this year in Barrack Wood in Warley, Brentwood, Essex. Two references to V-2 attacks have been identified, either of which could be the origin of this relic. 6 November 1944 (17:45 hours): Battery 444, Den Haag, Site 47 N of Waterpartij (Scheveningse Bosjes), V-2 rocket fired, impacted Little Warley, Essex. Fell in field. 4 Properties seriously damaged. 4 Persons injured. 22 February 1945 (22:44 hours): Batt. 1./485 (Art. Reg. 1./902), Hoek van Holland, V-2 rocket fired, impacted Warley. 1 Injured. (1)
