To his worthy and beloved friend the trusty Captain Hopson(?) May God preserve him - I wish you to go to the Captain of the frigate /English/ and say unto him that Said sends him a salam, even a great salam, and that Said is delighted at his arrival and that the country is his and he can have whatever he requires - and peace be on him. True Translation. A. Hamerton' and 'This sword was presented by the Imam of Muscat and Sultan of Zanzibar to Sir Cornwallis Ricketts on his visiting Zanzibar in H.M.S.Helena in 1845, in acknowledgment of the moral support His Highness has derived from the presence of an English man of War, at a time he was resisting the pressure of a French Mission to obtain commercial advantages by Treaty, over and above what had been conceded to the "most favoured nations", England included. The sword presented by His Highness for Sir Cornwall Ricketts' son (now in his possession) in 1845, was on the occasion of Sir C. R. conveying a silver tea service of Plate, a present from Her Majesty the Queen to the Imam of Muscat, to Zanzibar from the Cape of Good Hope. Sayyid Sa'id bin Sultan (1797-1856) was joint ruler with his brother from 1804 and became sole ruler in 1806. In 1822 he signed the Moresby Treaty with the British in which slaves to Christian powers became illegal throughout his lands. He removed his residence to Zanzibar permanently in 1840 and was recognised as Sultan of Muscat, Oman and Zanzibar in 1845. He encouraged the clove plantations in Zanzibar which became the world's top producers of that crop in 1860.

A RARE EUROPEAN MAIL CAPE OR PISAIN, PROBABLY GERMAN, LATE 15TH OR EARLY 16TH CENTURY composed entirely of riveted iron rings of half-round wire, those at the neck and at the base of the throat smaller in size than the rest and forming a stiff upstanding collar or standard, well-shaped to the shoulders, extending downwards to obtusely-pointed lower edges at the front and the rear of the waist and formed with a central opening at the rear (heavily patinated throughout with several small holes and some fusing of links at the neck) PROVENANCE Baron Armand van Zeulen (1838-96), sold Sotheby's, London, 1st April 1980, lot 81. Mail capes such as this, referred to by modern collectors as 'bishops' mantles', were known at the time of their use as 'pisains'. The relatively large rings of the present example indicate a date in the late 15th or early 16th century. Two similar examples are in the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds, Inv. Nos. III. 13 & 14, in one case fitted with a Nuremberg-inscibed brass ring. Others of an early fashion were formerly in the collections of Sir Guy Laking and Felix Joubert. See G. F. Laking, Vol. II, 1920, figs 530-1).

THE PROPERTY OF A LADY AN 18 BORE FIVE-SHOT PERCUSSION PEPPERBOX REVOLVER BY JAMES WILKINSON & SON, LONDON, DATED 1848 with 4 1/2in fluted barrel group engraved with sprays of foliage at the muzzles and stamped with London proof marks, scroll-engraved rounded action signed within an oval on the left, fitted with sliding thumb-piece safety-catch, engraved nipple-shield, engraved bar hammer, finely chequered figured walnut butt, engraved steel mounts comprising trigger-guard butt-cap with trap, and silver escutcheon engraved with a presentation inscription, and retaining traces of original finish: in its brass-mounted fitted mahogany case lined in green baize, the lid with flush-fitting carrying handle engraved 'H.N.Durand, Bengal Engineers', and applied with trade label for 27 Pall Mall inside, the inside with trade label for 27 Pall Mall (light wear), and retaining its nipple wrench (one compartments loose) 26cm; 10 1/4in The inscription on the escutcheon reads: 'Lord Ellenborough to his much valued friend CapTN Durand Bengal Engineers, 4th July 1848.' Major-General Sir Henry Marion Durand (1812 - 1871) was orphaned at an early age and educated at the East India Company's school in Addiscombe. He received a commission as second Lieutenant in the Bengal Engineers in 1828 landing in Calcutta in 1830 having been shipwrecked off the Cape of Good Hope. Durand played and important part in the capture of Ghazni in 1839 where he headed a party of natives who laid three hundred bags of powder at the Cabul gate. Despite being under direct fire from the town, Durand and his sergeant successfully detonated the explosion and the gates were blown in, the town fell on 23rd July. The following year Durand returned to England where he made the acquaintance of Lord Ellenborough who became Governor General of India shortly after and appointed Durand as his private secretary. Durand married the following year and was promoted to Captain. He accompanied the Governor General throughout the Gwalior Campaign and was present with him at the battle of Maharajpore, for which he was decorated. In 1844 he was recalled by Ellenborough and he accepted the post of commissioner of the Tenasserim provinces. His energy and hatred of corruption led to his removal from this post in 1846 after which he returned to England where he started writing a history of the Afghan War. He returned to India in 1848 arriving at Calcutta shortly after the outbreak of the Sikh war. He was present at the engagements of Chilianwallah and Gujerat serving on the staff of Brigadier-General Colin Campbell. For his services during the campaign he received the Punjab Medal with two clasps. In 1856 he was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and the following year he was appointed to the Central India Agency. Despite having no European soldiers Durand managed to hold out in the residency at Indore for several weeks when the mutiny broke out in Delhi. He achieved this by isolating the contingent troops and playing them off against the native regulars. Inevitably this could not last and Durand was driven out and retreated in the face of overwhelming numbers. He escaped successfully concealing his weakness with a show of force. He marched without loss to Sehore and then to Hoshungabad where he held the natural barrier of Nerbudda. He forced Woodburn's hesitating column and with it took a strong fort, gained three actions, captured more than forty guns and dispersed and disarmed forces far exceeding his own number. During the forced marches in the hot sun his wife fell ill and died. For his services during the mutiny Durand received a C.B. and was promoted to Brevet Colonel. In 1861 he became foreign secretary in India and in 1867 was promoted Major-General and awarded K.C.S.I. In 1870 he was appointed Lieutenant-General of the Punjab where, having inspected an outpost on foot, he mounted an elephant to visit the town of Tank. Durand's howdah was crushed against the roof of a gateway and he was fell to the ground, dying the following day. The Royal Engineers have founded a medal which is awarded annually in his honour .
